Heroes can come from anywhere.
At STRIVE, we’ve seen many of our graduates protect their communities during this pandemic. We’re more proud of them than ever, and we're determined to give their heroism the spotlight it deserves with firsthand stories of resilience, grit, and hope.
This week we are celebrating Che, a STRIVE graduate working in building maintenance at a women’s homeless shelter. Every day, while most of us stay home, Che does the essential work of ensuring safety and protection from COVID-19 at the shelter, harnessing the teamwork and job skills he learned at STRIVE to truly save lives. Watch his video of what it's like to go to work on the frontline:
STRIVE is honored to be a part of so many hidden heroes’ stories, helping those historically left behind by America’s job market find and maintain stable, fulfilling careers. In these trying times, more than ever, we're especially grateful to our generous donors who help us change lives, helping even more people become the heroes they’re meant to be.
