Dondre’s Story
“I am from a single parent household and haven’t always had the same access and support that a lot of my peers have. Through this program, I have been given the opportunity to explore many in-demand careers. I’ve been on job shadows and participated in business tours to figure out what I want to do. With my Success Manager’s support, I have decided to attend Kirkwood Community College this fall and major in one of their career programs for a skilled trade profession. I have learned that I like to work with my hands and see a product that I have created. This program has helped me set goals and work each month to make progress on achieving them.” We are very proud of Dondre and can’t wait to see where he goes, and how we can help him in TotalChild® Workforce. Way to go!Damika’s Story
"You're going to see results. I was undecided about plenty of things and I've done so much this year already being in this cohort. I would tell any high school student to get involved. Someone is going to care and someone's going to help you whatever it is you want to be a part of or do."
