![Former Palo Alto Unified School District school board candidate and Pathwise (formerly Dreamcatchers) Executive Director Nichole Chiu-Wang speaks on Thursday at a Q&A session to The Paly Incubator class at Palo Alto High School. According to Chiu-Wang, Pathwise is launching a new summer certification program. High school students can still mentor middle schoolers as a volunteer. “We [Pathwise] are very excited to be doing that, because we want to make sure that our high schoolers feel empowered to be leaders,” Chiu-Wang said. “I truly believe that through volunteering or through being of service, or through mentorship and those relationships you form, not only are we creating a sense of belonging for our middle school students, but also for our volunteers.”](https://anthromagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/guesdt-speaker-4-710x1200.jpg)

![Protesters came with signs of all shapes and sizes, from banners strung across the Embarcadero Road underpass to handheld sheets of paper to quilted fabric signs. Protestors Linda and Megan have been making their own signs since the first No King’s protest, hoping to encourage more people to speak out against the administration. “If we don't protest, how is it [the current state of affairs] ever gonna change?” Megan says. “It's not gonna change. If everybody stayed home, we’d be done.”](https://anthromagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG_4197-1200x900.jpeg)
