TESTIMONIALS
Youth Violence and Human Trafficking Prevention (YVHTP) Program
Urban Rez truly changed the direction of my life. The support and guidance I received from the YVHTP program helped me break away from a dangerous path. They didn’t just provide resources; they gave me a safe space and a chance to rebuild my future. I now have the confidence to pursue my dreams and make positive choices.
Black Employment Support Program (BESP)
The Black Employment Support Program was a turning point for me. As someone who struggled to find stable work, BESP not only helped me develop job skills but also connected me with an amazing mentor. Today, I have a job I’m proud of and a newfound sense of purpose. Urban Rez didn’t just prepare me for work; they prepared me for success.
Street Entrepreneurs Program
I always had a passion for business, but I lacked the tools and confidence to get started. Urban Rez’s Street Entrepreneurs Program gave me the training and mentorship I needed to launch my own venture. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Now, I’m running a small business, and it feels incredible to be part of something bigger and give back to my community.
