We celebrated the graduation of one Life Skills participant and two Real World participants on March 26th with a virtual ceremony. We are so proud of the dedication and commitment to the process and to their purpose that these graduates have shown.
"Spend some time with yourself because your purpose is inside of you. You don't have to look far, you don't have to look to other people. You will find your purpose sitting right there inside of you." - Jamar Davis
“You have the power from this day forward to continue to grow.”
– Shareasa Dunn, StepUp Alumni
Our December 2020 Life Skills graduates made StepUp history as our first class to complete the entire program virtually! We celebrated with over 60 participants and their family members, staff and volunteers on Thursday night.
“I found out about this program by mistake, but I think it was by design.”
Delshawn was supposed to pass on some information about StepUp to a friend, but ended up seeing the benefit of it for himself too. He graduated from the most recent Life Skills program in December along with eleven other participants.
“StepUp transformed my life because I have been searching for the drive that I lost over the years so I was looking to do something to get out of my comfort zone."
He graduated as the class speaker, with excitement over his renewed passion for setting and achieving his goals alongside a class of peers that became a network of support and encouragement.
