Everett Excelerators Program
The Everett Excelerators are people that have committed to support the Everett Program on a monthly basis. We are so thankful and appreciative of our amazing alumni and friends that continue to be involved in the program and help it grow and succeed. We truly could not be here without them!
Here are some testimonials from a few of our Excelerators:

Sienna Thorgusen, Class of 2013, Board Member of Everett Alumni Foundation
“I’m giving because Everett instilled in me the confidence and self-efficacy that has carried me through higher education toward a purposeful career.”

Thomas Gelder, Class of 2013, Board Member of Everett Alumni Foundation
“Everett showed me what meaningful work was. There’s a 0% chance I’d be where I am today without my time in the program and then as an Executive Fellow, so I am proud to reinvest in the program that defined my college experience and guided my career path.”

Yazmin Herrera, Class of 2012, Board Member of Everett Advisory.
“I give to the Everett Program because I believe that it creates leaders who are socially conscious and prepared to carry on the same values to the organizations they work for or create. I attribute my achievements with the Digital NEST tp the things I learned and the connections I made while I participated at the Everett Program”
