What can happen when a student has a second job, saves most of their earnings, earns all A's, maintains stellar attendance, and is consistently on their best behavior?

Daniesha showed us exactly what's possible!

Through her commitment to saving, Daniesha accumulated more than $7,000 during her time with The Job Foundation! Her achievement is a powerful reminder that when students are given the tools, encouragement, and opportunity to build strong financial habits, they can accomplish incredible things.

Congrats DayDay on this HUGE accomplishment!!
