Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day that represents freedom, resilience, and the enduring pursuit of equality. At Upswing, our mission is to empower historically marginalized communities to achieve their life goals. We believe that access to educational support services should be universal and free. By partnering with educational institutions, we strive to create a modern student services experience that helps more students attain their degrees. Join us in commemorating Juneteenth by reflecting on the progress we've made and recognizing the work still ahead. Let's continue to uplift and support each other in the journey toward true equality and empowerment. Together, we can make a difference.
