A big ol’ THANK YOU to this awesome group of high school students who spent the whole day helping us close up our high school locations for the summer. We couldn’t do it without you today and we are so grateful for your help!

There is much hope for the future- trust me!

Some of the Heart teens and I are in Helena for the Jobs for Montana Ignite conference and we are having a great time! We have toured worksites, played games and even relaxed a little bit at the Hot springs (a first for some of them!)

Many of the young adults I work with have come from families who have been just trying to survive for years. They’ve often missed out on school field trips, learning life skills, and just having fun like their peers. For the last few years these trips have been a highlight for me and them !

We celebrate big and little milestones in our program and today is a big one!

I met this awesome young man 3 years ago. In that time we have helped him get a birth certificate, a bank account, employment, driving lessons, a permit and today- HIS LiCENSE! This was the last of his big goals, and he is proof that our past or present isn’t our future!

Congrats Blaze! Well done!

SUN Bucks is designed to work together with other benefits your family may already get, like SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR.
