Kenneth, an 11th grader at Decatur High School, is a driven and determined young man who initially met our School Outreach Coordinator, Darius Alexander, to get breakfast and snacks throughout the day. Through his daily visits, Darius and Kenneth were able to build a relationship and discuss Kenneth’s goals as well as the challenges he was facing. Kenneth shared his desire to help his family and find a way to enjoy the teenage life others may take for granted. The little things such as being able to go to the movies, are a stretch for Kenneth.
During one of their meetings Kenneth brought in his resume and asked for help finding a job. Darius visited possible employers in the area and found a job opening at Fred Meyer. After meeting with the HR Manager, Darius was able to schedule an interview for Kenneth. Together, Darius and Kenneth worked on his resume and interview skills. On the day of his interview, Kenneth was hired on the spot and began the on-boarding process!
Congratulations, Kenneth!
