I'm incredibly grateful for the support I received from the Duke Barnes Foundation. Their mentorship program helped me navigate my career path and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams.

Attending the Thanksgiving dinner hosted by the Duke Barnes Foundation was such a heartwarming experience. It truly felt like being part of a family during the holidays, even though I couldn't be with my own.

The Foundation Coffee House has become my go-to spot for meetings and study sessions. Not only is the coffee fantastic, but the atmosphere is welcoming and inspiring.
