The Earn and Learn Participant Advisory Council has embarked on a trip to Washington D.C. to help our elected officials understand the importance of programs like Earn and Learn that help people get back on their feet.
“I enjoyed speaking and telling my story and really hope this trip changes the future of our programs.”
~Dominique W., PAC member
“I was happy to have seen John Conyers, Sandy Levin, and Gary Peters. I believe we really made an impact on these three.”
~Alfonso S, PAC member
Congressman Conyers was very interested in what we were doing and enjoyed all of our personal stories.
~Dominique W., PAC member
“My favorite part of the trip was when Congressman Sander Levin made a joke about my tie. And I really felt a connection when he said he went to Central High school.”
~ Tyrae G, PAC member
The PAC made a stop at the FDR memorial. This quote seemed so fitting for Earn and Learn.
“Gary Peters and his staff showed me great support on my transportation issues, and had a good understanding of Detroit’s transportation issues.”
~Landon N, PAC member
