Success Stories:
A 20 year old who had dropped out of school enrolled in the Sueños Program. With the help of Sueños staff she also enrolled at Cabrillo College’s Digital Bridge Academy and successfully completed it. She participated in many Sueños leadership and mentoring activities. She is very interested in veterinary science and, having fulfilled her work experience placement at the Pajaro Valley Animal Shelter, continues to pursue a career in veterinary science through the Regional Occupational Program (ROP). A Sueños participant’s career goal was to become a certificated pilot. He was placed at Ocean Aviation in Watsonville. He paid for his flight lessons by washing planes and doing general maintenance work at the airport. Sueños and Santa Cruz County Office of Education staff assisted him with letters of recommendation and assistance in completing the Pajaro Valley Aviation Academy Scholarship Application. He received the $1,200 scholarship and has since completed his general aviation pilot's license. He is currently employed at the Watsonville Airport and with further pilot training is looking forward to a career in aviation as a commercial pilot.
