Honoring KURTIS

4/15/2019

Kurtis came to live at Connections’ transitional living program, Our House, in September of 2017. While in the house, Kurtis has been quick to take advantage of all the program offers. He participates in life skills and employment opportunities, engages in employment training programs, and connects to our clinical services to keep moving forward. 

Thalma Brooms, Youth Programs Manager, noted, "His eagerness and positive attitude have helped him overcome obstacles and move through tough moments. This is what I like about Kurtis. He keeps pushing after he’s been knocked down, and he always gets back up and finds a new way."
Kurtis is currently working full-time, studying to get his CDL license, and enrolled in school at Oakton Community College. There is no doubt that Kurtis is a hard worker. After a long day of work, he is regularly studying with the interns at Our House to prepare for his CDL license.
​
We are proud of Kurtis for his dedication to achieving his goals. He leads by example, and his resilient spirit and strength are inspiration to us all.
