Meet Our 2025 Graduates!
At LEAF, graduation isn’t just a milestone—it’s a movement. From East San José to campuses across the country, our first-gen scholars are turning tassels and transforming futures.
This year’s graduates have overcome housing insecurity, navigated college as the first in their families, and mentored younger students along the way. Their stories are powerful reminders of what’s possible when community shows up.
Read their journeys. Celebrate their success. And help us support the next generation of changemakers.
