See the new faces joining If Given a Chance
for the 2025-2026 school year.
Our Mission & Vision
If Given A Chance identifies vulnerable, yet resilient, Napa County high school juniors who have faced extraordinary challenges and demonstrated a commitment to continuing their education to better their lives. We help students regain their sense of self-worth, emotional balance, and independent living skills through mentoring, life-skills training, mental health support, and financial assistance. IGAC provides ongoing support as these students navigate the challenges of obtaining a college degree or completing a technical training program so they can achieve job security, experience increased quality of life, and become a contributing member of their community.
Supporting Napa County High School & College Students
Every year, If Given A Chance selects juniors from all Napa County high schools to receive our award and participate in our program. Students apply for and are selected in the spring of junior year and participate in workshops and one-on-one coaching throughout their senior year to help them prepare for and enter college or professional/technical school.
Changing lives of 400+ students
Our organization has demonstrated successful outcomes for over 27 years with 400 alumni reaching pinnacles of success in their careers, which range from police and probation officers, to filmmakers, attorneys, scientists, entrepreneurs, marketing executives, and much more.
