Celebrating Milestones in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
“I’ve been on the bench for last 11 years, basically doing criminal. And I put a lot of people into this program, I truly believe in the program. It’s a way for them to change their life.”
Honorable Michael T. Vough, President Judge, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
Milestones play a significant role to our development. Recently, we got to celebrate with our graduates in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Each participant worked hard throughout the program. As a result, all of them have made incredible progress to their growth and development. In addition, they have attained a new outlook on their life and are equipped to take on the challenges ahead. Now, some are even inspired to help others.
“Not three years ago, I was in a tough situation, I didn’t have anything… Today, I am graduating off a program that I never thought was going to be possible without the structure that I got today. I want to be a drug and alcohol counselor. I’ve been through trauma I’ve been through everything that I can imagine, I think that my type of career could actually benefit.”
