WHERE WE ARE GOING
In the Spring of
2007, the Today’s Family Board became keenly aware that the cornerstone of our work lies in the families of the young
people who we have been serving. To truly affect their lives we needed to ensure a stable, self-sufficient home environment. The focus of Today’s Family was broadened and redirected to include the families
and adults in the community. To meet this need, two experienced counselors/employment
specialists, Ronnie Haber and Mariana McNeill joined as consultants and launched the Career Catchers program.
Through Career Catchers, Today’s
Family is linking with a variety of community programs and organizations eager to utilize our expertise. Just as we have recognized the need for a more holistic approach to solving some of our communities most
pressing problems of poverty and homelessness, others have reached out to us for assistance in the career development arena. Through the development of these partnerships, Career Catchers can offer much needed
services.
“The job
search went smoother with her support and encouragement.
Mana taught
me to stay focused on what I really wanted and helped to bolster my self esteem, self worth, and confidence. She told me to
sell myself with dignity and that I have more to offer than I thought.” Shawn,
job seeker
"I recently
received a new job. I was given credit for the time I worked as a contractor
to my employer. Hopefully their new acquisition will open other opportunities for me to advance. Thanks again so much for all your support and encouragement." Melissa,
