NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Jonathan Medina "America's #1 School Motivator"
I grew up homeless. A program just like TRIO gave me a vision of going to college. My HS counselor told me I could not go to a top college because...
❌ Migrant & Homeless
❌ 1st Gen
❌ Low income
Program just like TRIO gave me the Confidence, Self Belief, & Skills I needed to overcome my circumstances. The results...
✅ 1st in Family to go to College (Georgetown University)
✅ Nearly 1 Million Dollars raised to help 1st gen students
✅ #1 Best Selling Author
✅ Over 1 Million Students & Parents Impacted
Now I use what I've learned to help families & students just like me find confidence, self belief, & skills. We have partnered with over 2,000 schools nationwide and we want to partner with you to help your Families DREAM BIG!
DREAM BIG!
