Community Spotlights
"Your program and what you guys do changes lives. Now after receiving my high school diploma and career certificate in childcare I recently got a pay raise and was promoted to teacher of my own class… I'm currently enrolled at SJCC pursing a degree in early childhood education.”
“It was hard, but I learned if I want something, I need to be perseverant. Right now, I am looking to obtain a college diploma. I plan to become a coach for parents who have autistic kids. It is never too late to achieve your dream!”
“Working for the Resilience Corps has allowed me to both develop transferable skills for my professional career and serve my community. Through the program's living wage, I am able to save for higher education and feel more financially secure.”
