Natasha was a 16 year old single mother who dropped out of High school to care for her daughter who wanted to earn a high school diploma but had no child care.  So Natasha enrolled in the Hawaii Job Corps Center to better herself and improve the future for her child.  7 months later she has:

• Earned her General Equivalency Diploma (GED)

• Completed the Business vocational trade

• Graduated from the Hawaii Job Corps Center in 2009

• Enrolled in community college to study early childhood education

• Obtained an Associates of Arts Degree in Early Childhood Education and is pursuing her Bachelor Degree

• Earned a position as the lead teacher at the Child Care Center at the Hawaii Job Corps

• Purchased her first home

“Job Corps provided child care for my daughter which gave me the opportunity to earn my GED and complete a vocational trade. Without Job Corps I would not have become the successful person I am today.”
