Success Stories

Program Area: Youth Connections P. Gillis      When I enrolled in the Youth Connections program I didn’t really know what to expect. Working through the various workshops I was able to refine my resume and cover letter, practice my interview skills, and prepare myself to enter the workforce. The confidence I developed working through the program was just what I needed to make my job search successful. The Youth Connections program turned out to be a very rewarding experience.   Program Area: Youth Connections R.D.      When I came to Youth Connections, I was a drug addict that lived on the streets and worked for temp services. Also, I was an Apprentice Electrician that couldn’t find work. I needed help with finding work, way off the streets and making sure that I was in the right field of work. Youth Connections helped me write out and update my resumes, find companies in the Electrical field that were looking for help, build a plan on how to get off the streets and into counseling, and took job messages for me when I did not have a phone. Now I am a self-supporting, high school graduate with a Journeyman Electrical Ticket. Thank-you for the support, direction, and encouragement that you gave with a smile when I felt no one else cared. Thank-you for highlighting that there was hope and that in time things would get better.
