Job Training

" FareStart is a place that’s going to open your eyes to things you might not have thought of before. You have to look at the big picture and not just think about yourself sometimes. I feel like I snapped to my age, because I was kind of acting like I was still a child. I’m an adult now and certain things are in my control. So sometimes you just have to snap out if it. "

" Before I came here, there was nothing that I could finish. So I made it my goal -- no matter how long or how hard or how difficult -- that I would see it through. That's like a normal thing that people have capacity to do, which I had to learn. And thanks to FareStart, I did. It's given me training and confidence to overcome my past and be a fully functional member of society. "

" I think it's easy for a lot of people to get down on themselves, to fall into a negative space where they just think everybody is against them. The FareStart program really helps people get to a position where they believe in themselves and they're open to receiving help. FareStart gives them the opportunity to change and to push themselves.
