We couldn’t be more proud of Yareli, one of our remarkable Jeffco Prosperity Partners (JPP) youth, who recently returned from an unforgettable experience at the prestigious Medicine and Health Care High School Summer Program at Duke University! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allowed Yareli to dive into the world of medicine, where she practiced surgical techniques, worked alongside medical professionals, and even debated important public health issues with peers from across the country.
Yareli’s time at Duke was not just about expanding her medical knowledge—it was about opening doors and creating lasting connections. She met mentors, networked with other aspiring physicians, and began building a support system that will follow her throughout her journey. These relationships are just as valuable as the skills she learned, and they’ve given her a glimpse into the future she’s working so hard to create.
We’re thrilled that JPP was able to support Yareli in making this dream come true. At JPP, we are deeply committed to providing opportunities and experiences that our youth wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Whether it’s helping students attend specialized programs, offering mentoring, or connecting them with resources for postsecondary success, we believe in breaking down barriers and lifting our youth.
Yareli’s experience at Duke is a shining example of what can happen when young people are given the tools, encouragement, and support to reach their full potential. This opportunity has only fueled her passion for becoming a neurosurgeon and has strengthened her drive to give back to her community one day.
Her journey is far from over, and we’re excited to be there every step of the way. Stay tuned as we continue to follow Yareli’s incredible path to success. And to everyone who has supported our youth, thank you! Your generosity helps make these life-changing experiences possible.
Together, we can continue to create opportunities, open doors, and build the future for young people like Yareli.
