SUCCESS STORY: G.G. joined the FaceForward program in May of 2015.  He was originally from Chicago. G.G. has faced many hardships and challenges but with hard work, determination and guidance in the program - he has obtained his High School Diploma, is currently employed and has even obtained  credentials in the culinary track at BOCES

He expressed he is very proud of his accomplishments and is determined to support others and continue to better himself and his community.  

He said, " Hard work and dedication is key. The better your effort the better your outcome." 

We sincerely  congratulate his successes and encourage him to never give up on his path to better his life!

Success! Road Block Removed!

Sometimes road blocks present that seem to be dream killers.  For one BEAM participant, this fear threatened to be a reality.  

Recently S.R. was struggling to find tuition for the 2017 Fall semester.  With the assistance of Outreach Coordinator Anny Guerrero, this road block was overcome!

She secured $2,000 in tuition and  he is enrolled - now he is on his way to a Chemical Dependency degree at MVCC.

Congratulations  to him and thank you to Anny.  Both working together to help keep the dream alive!



Strive for Success! PJC and CPY
  

Career Pathways for Youth and Pathways to Justice Careers are working together to service their clients!  The event, Strive for Success, is a joint invitation to youth in both programs to gain valuable knowledge and skills to prepare for their future careers.

Every Thursday (From 9-14 till 12-14-2017), the programs meet at the MVCC Utica campus to teach their clients career, education and life skills topics.
