Finding the Courage for a Second Chance. After finding himself on the wrong side of the law and serving prison time, Keshaun knew he wanted a brighter future and needed the right resources. His uncle, an agency employee, told him about Catholic Charities’ Work and Gain Education and Employment Skills program. He was able to complete job readiness training and hospitality training through the Center for Transportation and Excellence and was offered a six-week paid work experience with Catholic Charities’ Maintenance Department. “I know what I did, and I know that is not the life I want to live,” said Keshaun. “All I needed was a chance to prove myself.” Find Good Within. Share God’s Goodness. Watch Keshaun tell his story in the brief “Find Good Within” video found at www.ccwny.org or call 716-218-1400.
