New students arriving here at our Cleveland Job Corps Center benefit from local organizations generosity.

This winter has been cold.  And here on Center, at  Cleveland Job Corps, we welcomed the opportunity to be the recipients of The SPOT Youth Empowerment Organizations benevolence;  in choosing our Center to bring warmth sponsored by Project Warm.

Having recently opened our Center to receive new students on board;  following such a long bout of COVID 19 preventing us from doing so, meant that students arriving may have not been very well prepared for the cold freezing breeze our Center experiences when the temperatures drop.  So when, Ms.Teralawanda Aaron, from the SPOT Youth Empowerment Organization and supported by the Family Connection Center called to inform us about Project Warm, to donate Coats, Earmuffs and gloves,  we said Yes; of course. And without hesitation, Ms. Aaron mobilized and before you knew it, we had a load of coats, ear muffs and gloves delivered.

Working in collaboration, we made the commitment to distribute said items to our newly arrived students in need of warm gear, as well as existing students on board that benefited as well.  Keeping in mind that we are expecting a steady stream of students arriving on Center, after distributing some coats, earmuffs and gloves, we placed the left over into our Dress for Success Closet here on Center in preparation for those arriving; that they may benefit as well.  Our surrounding community is very generous when it comes to donating items of warmth and here at Cleveland Jobs Corps, we appreciate being recipients of such generosity.  Together everyone accomplishes more.  It takes a village.  We are that village.  It is difficult to concentrate on anything, especially learning something new, if you are cold, so we thank you Ms. Aaron, for making that call.  And for Mr. Patrick Hatcher, our Work Based Learning (WBL)  Coordinator who knew to take down the information and pass it along to our Business Community Liaison, who engaged both our WBL and Out Reach & Admission Mgr.  to assist in bringing this project into fruition and distribution was accomplished.  TEAM work. Together, Everyone Accomplishes More.
