Being a scholar at Rainier Valley Leadership Academy is important to me because it’s the community I live in. I’m excited to partner with you to make RVLA a better place for people.

Rainier Valley Leadership Academy has impacted my growth as a scholar by teaching me how to be myself.

We have this mentor group and every morning we make a circle and share our feelings and how we are doing. Being a scholar at RVLA is important to me because I got friends and I got teachers that care about me and support me.
