Juntos in Sampson County is the narrative of a young woman who was determined to work hard in order to become successful in her educational endeavors. After struggling academically due to chronic absences and lack of motivation, this young lady reached out to our site coordinator; she knew Juntos could provide her with the tools and support needed to get promoted to the next grade level. Once she joined Juntos, her grades gradually improved and her absences decreased. Today, she is part of a group of individuals who believe in her.
