Fifteen new graduates from the “Getting Ahead in a Just-Getting’-By World” program were honored at a graduation ceremony on May 5th at the Scenicview Academy. Graduates included partner families from Habitat for Humanity of Utah County, clients of Community Action Services and Food Bank, and other community members. To date, 81 community members have graduated from the program that was started locally in 2008.
The Getting Ahead program is a step-by-step life planning and education program, sponsored by Habitat and Community Action, which includes facilitated education, group support, and hands on experiences. The overall goal of the program is to help area families work together to break the poverty cycle, find solutions to community issues, and build bridges to a more stable and productive life. The next group will begin in the fall of 2011.
