Program Keynote: Jackson Appelt READY Co-Founder
There is Strength in Vulnerability
Recently, our Co-Founder and Program Director Jackson Appelt was invited to be a keynote speaker for the Goldfinch Mental Health Foundation's 'Beyond the Hype' Off-to-College event for rising college freshman. In this experience, Jackson tells the story of the athletic, academic, and personal pressures that initially inspired the identification of a need for a program like READY.
Come listen to Jackson as he details finding strength in vulnerability, learning that resilience lies not in the nobility to endure hardship alone, but the courage to embrace adversity together.
