PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
Meet Tabbatha, AGAPE Post Release
| Hi, my name is Tabbatha and I am an AGAPE program participant. I entered the AGAPE program to regain control of my life and to gain self-awareness. The AGAPE program means a lot to me because it has helped me challenge my thinking and develop skills to create a healthy lifestyle. My short-term goals are to obtain employment, graduate from the transitional housing program, and continue to build my savings account. My short-term goals are building into my term-term goals, which are to advance in my career, be able to buy a house, and to reunite with my daughter. | School is back in session! TSM is now offering the Educate Now to Achieve Later (ENAL) After-School program at Meadows Elementary and Moline Elementary in addition to Koch Elementary and Westview Middle School.
