REALITY CHANGERS IN ACTION

EDDY ('23)

"The tutoring and public speaking practice have been very helpful, but I also am just glad to have Reality Changers as a second home. There isn’t another program that has affected me as much as Reality Changers."

OLIVIA ('22)

"After we finished the college applications, we talked about things like living in dorms, getting used to the school, and getting involved. Because of Reality Changers, I feel prepared to go to college."

ASHLEY ('15)

"The Reality Changers Alumni Network has provided me the opportunity to grow professionally and personally. By participating in their programs, I have developed skills, formed goals, and built my network."

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

Being The Change We Wish To See

Reality Changers champions and walks alongside first-generation college students as we work together towards education equity. We are accountable to the diverse communities that we serve and we actively affirm the dignity of all individuals.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement codifies these values. In 2021, we were recognized as an “Outstanding Organization for Diversity & Inclusion” by the Association of Fundraising Professionals San Diego Chapter.
