Story #20
I work on Legacy Hall at Florence Crittenton which caters to non pregnant/non parenting teens aging out of the foster care system.
Our goal is to help them get on their feet and learn skills including employment, budgeting, and housing so that they could move out on their own successfully.
I enjoy spending time with the foster care clients in the program. The challenges of the position are highly motivating.
Witnessing the girls successes: graduating from high school or substance abuse rehabilitation, getting their permits or getting their first job, making better grades and raising their grade point averages, improving their attendance at school… or failures that they learn from: what clothes not to wash together, how not to cook an item, groceries that don’t last all week, having to work out taking turns cleaning their bathrooms… all make incredible learning experiences for us all.
Florence Crittenton Services has made a difference in my life because it has given me the opportunity to make investments in people, and that opportunity is truly important to me!
