🌟 Celebrating Partnership & Purpose 🌟
We’re grateful to our partners at The Salvation Army Syracuse Area Services for recognizing the meaningful work being done through collaboration and shared commitment to community.
We also want to celebrate Debbie, a Job Coach with ARISE-Exceptional Family Resources, whose dedication and consistency make a real difference. Through her work supporting Community-based Pre-Vocational Services, Debbie helps individuals build confidence, develop workplace skills, and experience the value of contributing in real-world community settings.
These experiences support growth in responsibility, problem-solving, and task completion important foundations for future employment and independence.
Thank you to Salvation Army Syracuse for being a valued community partner, and thank you, Debbie, for the care, patience, and professionalism you bring to your work every day. Your impact matters.
Debbie, a job coach with ARISE-Exceptional Family Resources, has been volunteering at the Emergency Family Shelter since June. Each week, Debbie works side by side with a young man participating in Community-based Pre-Vocational Services. With Debbie’s guidance, this young man is gaining hands-on experience through tasks like stocking shelves and bagging items while building essential pre-employment skills.
Pre-Vocational Services focus on developing strong workplace habits, problem-solving, understanding the demands of the workplace, and completing tasks from start to finish. These community-based experiences help individuals feel more confident, capable, and prepared for future employment.
We appreciate organizations like this one that support individuals, creating meaningful opportunities to build skills and gain confidence, while giving back to the community.
