Amelia has been a part of College Possible since 2021 when she joined as a student herself. As a first-generation student of color as well as an unaccompanied youth, Amelia has faced many challenges that have hindered her college journey. Fortunately, she found College Possible and currently attends Willamette University. She is very active in her WU community as a Bearcat Pantry Coordinator helping students access food, and as an Opening Days Leader helping new students acclimate to campus. Amelia also serves as Facilities Coordinator with the Office of Intercultural Engagement and Inclusion, helping maintain the Renjen Center for Equity and Empowerment where students from marginalized communities can find a safe space to be their authentic selves. Being a part of College Possible has helped her with her journey through college and shown her the value of helping others on their journeys in a multitude of different ways! She hopes that she has impacted students in the same ways that College Possible has impacted her.
