This article highlights the perspectives of two future teachers of Color who participated in a Grow Your Own (GYO) teacher education program at a Predominantly White Institution (PWI). The findings focus on what compelled them to apply and what encouraged them to remain in the program. By examining the experiences and challenges of future teachers of Color pursuing degrees through GYO programs, we gained insight into their views on the value of GYO programs and what support systems these future teachers utilized most to be successful. Implications suggest ways that other PWIs can retain and support future teachers of Color.
