Testimonials
These are some of the things ColaborativoPR participants are saying about the program:
“ColaborativoPR helps you achieve all your university goals and is committed to each and every participant reaching their goals.
Adeyska Pizarro Ortiz
Escuela Hotelera
“It is a program with the objective of helping you to study, to finish what you would like to do. For example, I did not know what I wanted to study or if I wanted to study, until I started working with the CollaborativePR team, then I began to get motivated. I set a goal, it was not easy, but I did it.”
Jocdean Manso Mojica
Interamerican University- Fajardo
“There is a very big difference between having a dream and knowing how to reach that dream; the CollaborativePR is that bridge between the dream and reaching that dream.”
Laryzabeth Correa Robles
University of Puerto Rico- Carolina
