A Program Built on Belief

Past recipient Jake Richardson is one example of what's possible, having gone on to meaningful employment following support from the Pathways to Employment Scholarship.

“From my perspective and as his mother, that’s all I want to see, my boy who is now a young man, can have a fulfilling life and purpose that doesn’t need to be placed into just one basket labelled ‘disabled’ or ‘special needs’, because he’s more than that in my eyes. He is my inspiration.”
— Jake’s mother Jaime
