Last week, we gathered to celebrate the conclusion of Route to Relief, a transformational initiative in partnership with the City of Phoenix, AZ USA and Maricopa County that changed lives across our region and demonstrated the power of education, workforce development, and community partnership.
Since its launch in 2022, Route to Relief has helped more than 1,300 individuals access training and education opportunities that opened doors to new careers, higher wages, and greater stability for themselves and their families.
The Route to Relief Impact Celebration was more than a look back at the program's success. It was a tribute to the students who took a chance on themselves, the faculty and staff who supported them every step of the way, and the community partners who believed in the power of opportunity.
To everyone who helped make Route to Relief possible, thank you. The program may be coming to an end, but its impact will continue to be felt for years to come through the lives, careers, and communities it helped strengthen.
