The Resident Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) program is buzzing with excitement as we celebrate milestones, welcome new faces, and strengthen community ties! From a successful Lifeforce Development Institute (LDI) graduation to a new cohort full of promise, we are proud of the progress being made.
A Milestone Moment: LDI Graduation
Graduation day was nothing short of inspiring. Each LDI graduate stood as a testament to hard work, resilience, and a commitment to growth. The ROSS team couldn’t be prouder of their journey, and we can’t wait to see how they use their newfound skills to make a difference in their communities.
A Warm Welcome to Our New LDI Cohort
On April 15, we had the pleasure of welcoming our second cohort of LDI participants. With fresh perspectives and a shared drive to learn, this group is ready to embark on a transformative journey. We look forward to seeing their ideas come to life and the impact they will make in the months ahead.
Strengthening Community Ties: Rockford Schools Partnership
Our collaboration with Rockford Public Schools District 205 continues to thrive! A key focus has been increasing preschool enrollments, ensuring families have access to crucial early education resources. These efforts lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success, reinforcing our commitment to community empowerment.
Looking Ahead: Growth & Opportunities
Breanna Bailey, a driving force behind the ROSS program, is eager to complete new training opportunities that will further enhance the program’s reach and effectiveness. As we move forward, our mission remains the same—creating opportunities, fostering connections, and empowering our residents to build brighter futures.
