“Grant writing for our preschool was just the start, Julé truly took me under her wing. She saw potential in me that I did not see in myself. I have never led anyone, let alone a preschool and an entire board of directors. She took the time to educate me on leadership and what it means to be a true leader. Julé invited me to her leadership training class, she introduced me to other leaders in the nonprofit world, and created an environment that has allowed me to grow and develop as a leader. I have become confident in my leadership abilities. With the training and assistance of Julé and Grant Pathways, my preschool is now profitable. My staff morale is high, which has led to a better quality of education for our children. The teachers are now engaged and open to more creative ways of educating our children. The families have seen the change and are more engaged in their children’s education. The school has truly gained momentum and it all started with Julé Colvin and Grant Pathways.”
