Building communities. Changing lives
“Justice Corps gave me an opportunity when they introduced me to the company I’m working for and helped me get my OSHA [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] certification… I try to build myself up; try to get as many certifications as I can… You got to strive for whatever you want.”
