Kati Ortiz is a cycle-breaker. She was drawn to her work because she is committed to supporting student dreams. As a Passport student support coach, Kati provides direct assistance and college coaching to students eligible for the Passport to College program at Skagit Valley College.
“Youth need someone to listen to them, dream with them, and talk to them about what is really going on in their lives without any judgment,” Kati says. “I want to motivate students and remind them what their dreams are. Then I connect them to the resources they need.”
This National Foster Care Month, College Success Foundation remains dedicated to proactively supporting the most vulnerable student population: foster youth and alumni of foster care. These students face obstacles to thriving and succeeding in college that go well beyond academic achievement and preparing for college. Recognizing their unique challenges, we provide additional trauma-informed programs and services to help them succeed.
