28. One of the most inspiring stories I've ever heard: TeenSHARP

In this episode of the Joyfully Managed Life podcast, host Jessica Eastman Stewart shares the story of the inspiring education-based organization TeenSHARP. Starting as a grassroots effort in 2009, TeenSHARP has received funds from Barclays and impacted hundreds of students from 29 U.S. states by helping them secure admission to top colleges with substantial financial aid. Jessica highlights the recent achievements of TeenSHARP students who received full-ride QuestBridge scholarships and describes the success of alumni in their professional endeavours. She holds TeenSHARP's commitment to diversity in high regard as it helps talented students gain admissions into prestigious colleges, countering modifications in affirmative action regulations. The podcast ends with a call to follow TeenSHARP's social media and support their work.
