It’s a story about a new path with a lasting positive impact. For this story, we follow Kayla Ybaria for her earliest days enrolled at the Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center.

Kayla had an immediate positive Job Corps experience.

“I got here yesterday, and they made me feel welcome. They took me around the center and showed me around. They took me to my dorm and showed me everything in there. They showed me where the cafeteria is and just around everywhere on the campus.”
