“Working here is like being in a big family. Everyone gets to know each other, cares about each other, and we're all there for each other. Its really cool how everyone WANTS to get to know each other, its not just a job...its like a family! and I love it!”

some quotes from our students about the program…

“Not only do we get to work with some really great and friendly people, but we can now call "work", "fun"! You really show that you appreciate us, and provide us with a little friendly competition and have given us more incentive to do our very best. I can easily say that working here has become a lot more fun since starting here almost 2 years ago.”
