Madalynn’s Story

I first became aware of the Learning Exchange through the UYES! (Urban Youth Employment/Education Services) program. Everyone there was so supportive and understanding. The atmosphere was welcoming and I didn’t feel the daily pressure I felt in traditional high school.

Carrie’s Story

Since a young girl, Carrie has always dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. She was fascinated by creativity and design, always imagining ideas and creating designs in her head. As she got older, her interests expanded into esthetics and massage therapy, fields where she could combine creativity and helping others.

Trish’s Story

I did the Power Up program in 2015. I was just starting out on a journey to know what abilities I had. It wasn’t easy but it was worth it. Power Up definitely helped with my confidence and I met several people who would be part of my life in the days to come, helping me become the best person I can be.
