Fresh Cuts for a Fresh Start

Heading back to school is a big moment—and we believe every student deserves to walk in feeling confident. This season, we're teaming up with local barbershops and salons to offer free haircuts for immigrant and first-generation youth as they prepare for a new academic year. From kindergarten to high school, we're here to support students with small but meaningful acts of care.
