Testimonials
I am a young adult who has been raised around Hartford all my life and growing up here was a story that really created a meaningful purpose in my life. I grew up with a mentality that was to strive for success no matter what becomes a roadblock in your path. I was introduced to the BHCA “Bhest” Program In 2021 And the program offered a safespace that was made for those sheltering their emotion, the program spoke very solely about social and emotional learning and it really made me realize the obstacles in my life and how i can be honest with my wrongs and try to learn more and become a student of life trying to elevate my EQ and spread positive energy. I have done community engagement work through the Summer Youth Employment Program That created plenty of relationships with people that have offered me opportunities, and honestly I couldn’t be more grateful for going to weaver And being brought this opportunity and now my mission is to elevate the youth and serve them as a role model and guide them down the right path.

BHCA’s Summer Youth Employment and Learning Program has equipped me with a range of valuable soft skills and opened numerous opportunities for me as a young professional. I’m grateful to now work with BHCA, where I can continue developing these skills in a supportive environment while contributing to our community.
