Success Stories



Nerissa is a 19-year-old emancipated foster youth who was enrolled in PathPoint’s Youth Networked Services program. Since the start of her program services with YNS, Nerissa completed the Work Readiness and Career Planning Workshops and demonstrated a resolve to put into practice the job readiness skills she learned to find and maintain employment. She was able to find two part-time jobs in a tough employment market for job seekers. At the same time, Nerissa volunteered five hours a week at the Camarillo Healthcare Lifeline, helping with data entry, filing and with mass mailings.

Nerissa says:

“With the help of PathPoint, I have been able to show resiliency and adaptability in overcoming the obstacles I confront on a daily basis in my life. I have learned a lot of lessons over the last few years, but the most important lesson I have learned is not to quit when things get hard. I am a member of the California Youth Connection and I am honored to be voice for youth empowerment.”
