The outcomes that we have have been recognized nationally. You have some of that with the WIOA? Right. Well, yeah, the WIOA, I think we maybe mentioned this before, but the state of Alaska was recognized as the WIOA provider that was providing the most services for homeless youth in the nation.
Picture this: a young person, homeless and struggling, finds a beacon of hope through education. In this episode of the MY House Podcast, Michelle Overstreet chats with Roger Hamacher from Nine Star Education and Employment Services about why finishing high school is a game-changer for these young lives.
Roger breaks down the hurdles faced by those who’ve slipped through the cracks of the traditional school system and explains how obtaining a high school diploma can open doors to a brighter future. They also discuss the innovative CyberLynx program, which offers a flexible and supportive path to graduation.
Through real-life success stories, Michelle and Roger highlight how MY House and Nine Star are not just providing shelter but also lighting the way for self-sufficiency and breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty. If you're curious about how education can be a lifeline, this episode is a must-listen.
