Lona, a single mother of three, embarked on her remarkable journey while in the program. She started as a student, balancing her studies while working in the kitchen at Head Start. Despite the challenges, Lona persevered and earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Metropolitan State University.
Reflecting on her journey, Lona credits JPP for providing not just academic support but also emotional encouragement and tutoring services. "Without their unwavering support," she says, "I wouldn't be filled with such joy of accomplishment and success. They never gave up on me."
Since graduating from JPP, Lona has transformed into a Career Specialist in Human Services, dedicated to helping others achieve economic self-sufficiency. Her story is not just about personal achievement; it's about being a role model for her children and inspiring them to reach for their dreams. Lona also acknowledges the impact of JPP on her son, who successfully graduated under their guidance.
Lona's journey is a testament to the transformative power of determination, support, and never giving up. She is a shining example of what can be achieved with hard work, resilience, and the right community backing. Her story inspires us all to believe in our potential and never stop striving for greatness.
At JPP, we are proud to be a part of Lona's journey and countless others who continue to achieve their dreams and make a difference in their communities. Join us in celebrating empowerment and transformation, one success story at a time.
