Savanna
At age 15 Savanna helped take care of her grandma and that was when she knew she wanted to help others. Savanna challenged herself to pursue her dreams and joined a Certified Nursing Assistant class. She received her certification and in 2019 was accepted into the Licensed Vocational Nurse program.Workforce Solution’s Youth program provides financial assistance to pay for tuition, fees, and supplies such as nursing scrubs. Childcare assistance made attending school a reality and according to Savanna, the encouragement of the staff at Workforce Solutions was as important as the financial help. Savanna could not have finished without a secondary support system.

Terry Farrar
When we met Terry he was living and working at the Salvation Army. At that time Terry was faced with medical and transportation obstacles. Terry participated in one of our programs and is now living in his own apartment and is on track to purchase his own vehicle.
