Reynolds Great Expectations student releases book

JSRCC Great Expectations student Davon Mitchell recently released his first book through Kingdom Publishing. Transcending Through the Mind…Expressing Through the Soul is a thought-provoking book written to educate, inspire and motivate readers to consider a new perspective on life. It offers life-changing hope and healing, viewed through various lenses.

Mitchell was a student in the Great Expectations program at Reynolds. Great Expectations is a program that helps young adults – those who are or were recently affiliated with the Virginia Foster Care System – transition to college. More than 500 children in the Virginia foster care system age out each year. Without social or family support, foster care children experience significant challenges living on their own. However, with access to education, foster care youth can find satisfying, well-paying jobs.
