Today, we’re celebrating our amazing Student Advocacy workers who officially crossed the finish line and are stepping into their next chapter.

While only two are pictured, we also want to give an honorary shoutout to our fellow graduate who couldn’t be with us in the photo — this celebration is just as much yours ✨

Thank you for the countless hours, and the difference you made at the Advocacy Center. Wishing each of you success, growth, and endless opportunities in your next endeavors.

A special shoutout to all of our student parents who continue to make the impossible possible every single day 💜
We had the honor of capturing this beautiful moment of a mom graduating college on the very same day her son graduated kindergarten 🎓✨

To every student parent balancing school, work, family, and life…. we see you, we celebrate you, and we are so proud of you.

From student leaders and veterans to first-generation graduates and students who overcame challenges to reach this milestone. Every graduate has a story worth celebrating 💫

Enjoy the moments we captured from your special day, and congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎉

From the first day of class to walking across the stage, the Student Advocacy Center is honored to support our students every step of the way 🎓✨ Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 💜 More graduation photos coming soon! 📸

NVC students connected with local organizations and explored resources to support their everyday needs—from food assistance and healthcare to housing support, financial wellness, and more.

A huge thank you to Authentic Style Group for helping students feel confident with interview-ready outfits and resume support 👔✨

Students also visited the NVC Math Lab to learn about academic support, spun the prize wheel, and even got the chance to break a cascarón 🥚💥

We’re incredibly grateful to all of our community partners who showed up for our students. Special thanks to those pictured, including Rise Recovery, The Health Collaborative, and the Dual Generation Program from United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County.

Additional thanks to partners who may not be pictured:
