They say it takes a village to raise a child. The same is true when you're building a mission like #BeTheLight! And what a village we have.

The Impact: One Year, 80 Lives Changed

In just 12 months, CyRoot Academy has impacted 80 lives in 2025—military members, veterans, military spouses, people with disabilities, and those seeking second chances. Eighty individuals who now have the technology skills to change the trajectory of their careers and lives.

Honoring Our Village

If you've supported, encouraged, partnered, shared, taught, donated, or simply believed in this mission, you're part of the CyRoot Academy family. You are part of the team making this happen.

At our anniversary celebration, we honored those who have been instrumental in raising this "baby":

• Board Stewardship Recognition Awards (for leadership and guidance supporting education for military members, veterans, and their families)

• "You Are the Light" Awards (recognizing dedication and commitment to being the light for others)

The Path Forward

Please continue to walk with us. There are so many people who need a hand—people who want to upskill, grow, and change the trajectory of their lives. Together, we can remove the hurdle of cost and provide quality, accessible training to those who need it most.

"You're the light of the world." — Matthew 5:14

Here's to year two and the next 80+ lives we'll impact together. 🌟
