JobTrain Receives Congressional Recognition

On Saturday March 16, 2013 was presented with a Certificate of Recognition by Congresswoman Jackie Speier for "sending reinforcement to the Congressional Speier Corps Winter Work Days."

JobTrain students and staff were honored for providing invaluable service to sprucing up San Mateo and San Francisco parks and recreational areas.

"Doing volunteer work with my fellow alum and JobTrain staff made me feel happy and like we really can make a difference in this world." - Irene Soto, JobTrain Medical Office Assistant graduate.

Speier Corps Day 2013

Coming Full Circle: JobTrain Students and Staff Give Back to Community 

Today was a terrific and beautiful day in Brisbane. Students from JobTrain’s Medical Office Assistant class joined staff Kail Lubarsky, and dedicated their time to serve their community as part of SPEIER CORPS DAY. We raked debris, pulled weeds and worked extremely hard to transform and beautify the San Bruno Mountain recreation area.

Representatives from Congresswoman Speier’s office, generously thanked JobTrain (we were the only group- aside from individual volunteers) and were invited to join the congresswoman for the next scheduled event on Friday, March 8, 2013 in Pacifica. 

Special thanks to Joy Martin-Spriggs for encouraging her students to participate in this event and teaching them the value of giving back to community. 

Please join me in thanking Joy and her incredible students: Patricia Rivera, Celeste Gonzalez, Chabela Rivera, Irene Soto, Bertha Mendoza and JobTrain alum Tra’cey Duncan for investing their time today.
