At 62 I am deciding what to do with the rest of my life. So when I came to JumpStart I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the leaders at JumpStart encouraged me to do new things and to reach out and meet new people. With the knowledge I gained in the workshop classes, I have helped my husband rework his resume for a new job and who knows what wonderful, fun job may lie just around the corner for me! I really appreciate all I learned from JumpSTART! It was motivational and educational; and it has helped me continue to grow.
