The I Am Next program helped prevent me from becoming homeless and alone. The staff are a great support system and they’re always there when I need help or even just someone to talk to. Whenever I’m struggling or need to vent, I know I can come to them. I’m really glad to be a part of the I Am Next program.

The driving program is going really well. Jon is very consistent, supportive, and gives everyone a chance to get their license. He works with each person individually and helps anyone who needs extra support. Every time he comes to Greenview, he checks in with all of us and encourages everyone who wants to get their license. He is positive, patient, and always makes time to help. Jon believes in people, even when they don’t believe in themselves. He reminds us that we can succeed and that we will get our licenses. He explains things clearly and always answers questions, no matter how many times we ask. The program is extremely helpful for those who haven’t had the chance to work on getting their license before. Jon is a hardworking, kind, and understanding person, and the program has been a big help.
