My apprenticeship with CHW Strength was both impactful and enriching, personally and professionally. I joined the program at a critical point in my life, and it challenged me to grow in ways I hadn’t expected. I connected with a passionate group committed to community work, and their support made a big difference despite the physical distance. I wasn’t sure how things would go, but the apprenticeship offered meaningful opportunities that allowed me to step up. Early on, I set a goal to become a CHW instructor, and with the mentorship and support of Serreta and Marco, that dream became a reality. They provided the space, tools, and encouragement I needed to succeed. I’m also grateful to Tonie and Francine for their constant support and uplifting words. This experience has been a powerful force in my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow and gain a lifelong CHW family.
