Enjoy the holiday!!
The celebrations continue!
We are celebrating 5 years of hosting a Foundation Community Partnership, “Summer Youth Corps Intern Program”. This year’s intern will start with us next week, and help us throughout the summer. We are #bcocproud to be a part of this special program and introduce the next generation to the power of non-profit work!
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!
This graduation season, we have a lot to celebrate and will be highlighting some of our grads over the next couple of weeks. Yesterday, Brittney (an ES Program Member) graduated from nursing school!
To her Coach, Mary, she writes: “Really, thank you for everything you have done for me throughout my nursing journey!”
We are #bcocproud of this program and all of the incredible people who participate in it. Congratulations, Brittney!
