 “I’ve learned to be patient and not give up on myself. I also learned how to write up a resume, dress right for a job interview, how to prepare for a job interview, and how to act on a job interview. I learned all that stuff. EAC has prepared me for work and an opportunity to go to school an make something out of myself. I am so happy that there is a program like this cause it brought me back to life and gave me something to live for.” -A.D.

“My family had no faith in the person I had become; I was losing my wife and my son.  I saw myself as a broken man, unable to see the damage I had done to myself and to my family.  One of the opportunities offered to me was the Just for Dads program.  I knew that all I wanted was to be a great, responsible father.  Just for Dads staff connected me with the Green Jobs Corps training program which prepared me for the field that I am now working in.  My life was completely changed when I realized that the EAC staff actually cared about where I was headed.  It was wonderful to feel the positivity and support the EAC staff offered.  I am getting myself and my family back.   I couldn’t imagine where I would be if it hadn’t been for this program.” – V.C.
