SUCCESS STORIES
Transforming Lives
“Over the next two years, Marion blossomed. She learned English, got her T visa, went to school to attain a medical assistant certificate, followed by a nursing assistant certificate, and finally a degree as a registered nurse. She did all of this while working full-time at a variety of jobs and complying with all of the demands of our rigorous program.”
