Thank you so much for the fantastic opportunity.
I am always passionate to talk about the homeward bound program. I've been with the program since 2008. I've witnessed amazing transformations of women who have gone through the program. As I said, the majority of them came from the shelter system. Upon leaving the program, we have their graduation, which is a very formal event with a talk from valedictorians.
It's just giving me goosebumps. That's what keeps me motivated.
For the homeward bound program, we are fortunate at WoodGreen to have so many services in one place, with housing and employment supports, in addition to child care centres. The agency has six, and one is particularly for the homeward bound participants.
