Ready for another moment?

Today, we're sharing a success story from our partners at of Hampton Roads about Jasai, who began working with CISofHR since 7th grade to address in-school behavior issues.

Jasai continued to work with CISofHR when he changed schools in the 9th grade, where his focus shifted towards his academics. Expressing an interest in attending college, Jasai participated in CISofHR college enrichment opportunities 🏫

Just before his Senior year began, Jasai's mother died. Struggling emotionally with this loss, Jasai fell behind academically. CISofHR provided Jasai emotional support and tools to manage his grief.

The Site Coordinator’s interest helped Jasai attend school regularly, focus on coursework, and complete college applications. In June 2024, Jasai graduated and started attending ODU in the Fall of 2024 ✨

This past weekend, Sierrah Chavis, our Director of Youth Opportunities, spoke at the VAABSE Conference, where she presented on “Uniting Our Voices: A Village Approach to Empower, Enlighten, and Educate Black and Brown Students and Families" 💪

Sierrah discussed how collaboration, advocacy, and culturally responsive strategies can create meaningful opportunities for students and their families.

Thank you to Sierrah for presenting on this empowering topic, and emphasizing that, together, we can build a supportive village that fosters growth, resilience, and success ✨

It's and we want to share one of our favorite success stories from 2024! ✨

Through the Luter Family YMCA year-round out of school time program for elementary age children, Leilani overcame her challenges with learning, communicating, and separation anxiety. The Y's camp program helped her transition into kindergarten, as she was able to learn both academically, and socially.

Thanks to her experience at the Y, her family no longer has to worry about her experience at school, as she became ready to make friends and learn! 🏫

January is National Mentoring Month! For the remainder of January, we'll be highlighting our VBthrive & NFKthrive mentors during "Mentor Monday" 💙

Daphne was able to complete VBthrive's short-term case management program, and enroll in their long-term mentoring program, with the support of her mobility mentor, Amy.

She was able to accomplish several goals related to her credit score, debt, workforce development, and overall financials due to obtaining both a full-time job AND picking up a part-time position.

We're incredibly proud of Daphne, and thankful to mentors like Amy who push our participants to THRIVE ✨

It's time for a success story from 2024!

This time, we're highlighting YMCA of South Hampton Roads and their Developing Thriving Teens through the YMCA Entrepreneurship program ⭐

As an 8th grader, one young visionary participated in two Teen Entrepreneurship programs, which allowed her to explore and develop her business acumen. Her ventures, a child care service and a hair salon, showcased her creativity and her ability to adapt, learn, and succeed in different environments.

The program enhanced her passion and provided her with essential tools and support. Her story highlights the potential of young minds when given the opportunity to thrive 💫

We're so excited for our upcoming Project Inclusion class to begin their journey! 👏

One of our very own staff members, Trevellis Lewis, Senior Manager of Nonprofit Campaigns and Certifications, participated in Project Inclusion a few years ago!

"Participating in the program has had a significant impact on my career, especially in terms of personal growth and professional development. The skills I gained through Project Inclusion, particularly in communication and leadership, have been invaluable," Trevellis said.

"The program's focus on financial responsibility has given me a clearer understanding of how to manage resources and make informed decisions, both personally and professionally. These insights have contributed greatly to my success and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Project Inclusion."
