What Partners Say About Vana Lab

Schools and youth organizations collaborate with Vana Lab to create experiences that are practical, human, and meaningful for students.

Robert came and spoke to our upperclassmen in Science Research and was incredibly inspiring. Rather than telling students there is one clear path to success, he talked about the mindset needed to navigate a future that is always changing. He connected with students in a way that felt approachable, relatable, and meaningful.

Robert worked with Apex rising 12th graders the summer before their first year of college. He has such a warm demeanor and truly meets students where they are by breaking down complex ideas into simple terms. He answers questions thoughtfully, and it’s very clear that he has a big heart for empowering young people.

Vana Lab led two sessions for Apex’s internship program focused on communication and helping youth advocate for themselves. The sessions provided valuable information and actionable techniques. Robert is a strong facilitator with excellent leadership skills with youth, and we hope to work with him again.
