What's Being Said About Academies to Work

"I was really having a hard time. I was homeless, and it was hard to get on my feet. [ATW] gave me opportunities, allowed me to pay my rent and take care of my kiddos. It gave me a strong foundation to feel safe to move forward."

"I ended up going to train through ATW and found employment within DHA. The classes opened my mind to accepting all different backgrounds. I also got help with my resume and boosted my computer skills. I'm so very thankful for everyone who was involved!"

"Knowing that these people care about the community amazed me more and more. This is what the community needs. I feel proud that I took this step and that they worked with me. They didn't leave me behind."
