Press Release: Getting Ahead graduation
Graduation for participants in Getting Ahead is on the calendar for December 5, and the community is invited to celebrate their accomplishments.
These hard-working neighbors are starting their journeys out of poverty and into stability and the organization is proud of all the accomplishments they have made so far. Those who attend the graduation will hear stories about participants’ experiences, moments of discovery and awakening in the group, and future goals they have set.
There will also be a networking dinner designed to allow Getting Ahead participants to build their business contacts. It is crucial to provide long-term support while graduates are building resources and transitioning out of poverty. Community leaders and employers are invited to play a key role in the solution and future of participants.
Our goal is to create awareness and connections for our participants, building a network of contacts that in turn generates resource partners.
Awareness is the first step in creating positive change for the under-resourced. Please plan to attend both the dinner and the graduation.This informal social time is invaluable to the participants as our organization strives to bridge the gap between community leaders and the under-resourced population.
The dinner and graduation runs from 6 - 8 p.m. and will be held at First Lutheran Church, 320 South State St., Lexington. To RSVP click here https://forms.gle/ZpAd8eJqq9cn9ErY7 by November 28.
