“Take the opportunity! You will not find another program with individuals who care about your future as much as the One-Stop Programs. I am in a completely different place not only as an employee or a student, but as an individual since I began the program. I have met many caring and inspiring adults and mentors during this process, and I couldn’t be more grateful for my experiences. During the pandemic, I was still given the upmost support regardless of the circumstances.”
