OUR SUCCESS STORIES
OUR SUCCESS STORIES
We have partnered with our local schools, community organizations, and businesses to offer volunteer training opportunities. Participants who have demonstrated work readiness are placed in controlled and monitored work experiences to allow them to put their skills to practice. These invaluable work experiences prepare young adults for the standards of the workplace, as well as provide individuals with real-world experiences they can reference during job interviews.
