🎓 Meet Our Graduates 🎓
Destiny Zepeda is invested in student success! 
🎓
Raised on the South Side of Providence by her Dominican grandmother, she has taken her destiny in her own hands. Destiny is a straight-A student and the first in her family to graduate high school and college. She graduates from RIC with a B.A. in youth development and has been accepted into RIC’s master’s degree in youth development program. 
🎓
However, it was through her internship at ric.crearfuturos that Destiny realized how she wanted to use her degree. “As a peer mentor, my role was to help students navigate college and get connected to resources so they could complete college successfully,” she says. “But after interning there, I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my career.”
🎓
“Destiny is a gift to the Youth Development Program at RIC and to our field of youth work,” says Asst. Prof. Victoria Restler. Link in bio to read her story.
