Curator's Comment
Yvette Moreno was paired with a mentor from Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City when she was 12 years old. The program inspired her dream to mentor others as a high school guidance counselor. After attending Hunter College for three years, she then transferred to Lehman College for the fall 2001 semester, where she could take night classes while working as a daytime receptionist at Carr Futures. Today, Lehman College offers a scholarship in her honor for students in sociology or psychology.
