“I would not be half the person I am today without the experiences from the BASE. Every day and every semester that went by, I would learn more about myself, my potential and what I wanted to do. It’s important that we build railroads. We build them with intention, always looking back to bring others along. As we step forward and gain more access for ourselves, we create a space for others to have access as well.” — Everton, Graduate, Bachelor of Child & Youth Care, Child & Youth Care Advanced Diploma
