"This program is about more than providing skills and jobs," Self added. "This is about building hope and a brighter future, so more people can truly prosper and succeed here in our hometown."
The Regions Foundation's grant to STRIVE Birmingham was presented Friday during one of STRIVE's first graduation events honoring adults who have successfully completed the program.
Self said the benefits created by STRIVE today will enhance the quality of life for families for many years to come.
"STRIVE Birmingham is truly grateful to receive this support from Regions," said Quiwintre Frye, Executive Director of STRIVE Birmingham. "This funding comes at a critical time as STRIVE is growing and expanding to more communities experiencing disparities in access to opportunity.
"Too many families face barriers to financial mobility," Frye enlightened. "And we at STRIVE are committed to opening doors and creating pathways to stable employment, careers, and a hopeful future."
Training and certification that students gain through STRIVE's Healthcare & Office Operations program puts them on a pathway to careers in the local healthcare industry with opportunity for advancement.
"The comprehensive training and support provided by Strive has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goal of becoming a certified administrative assistant at a local hospital," said STRIVE Birmingham graduate LaShundra Ravizee. "I gained organization, communication, and office management skills but also a sense of confidence in my professional capabilities, preparing me for the demanding administrative challenges of working in a hospital environment.
The encouraging environment fostered a strong sense of community, where we could learn from one another and share experiences.
