Working towards independence. 1st month's rent will allow me to reach stability.

Overview

I am a 19-year-old male living on Staten Island. I have enrolled in the Young Adult Success Corps program. This program will help me complete my GED and become ready for a job. I am currently on probation. I am trying to better my life by becoming an independent adult.

My long-term goal is to eventually become an New York City Police Officer.

I am driven to become independent. My first month's rent will help me on my path toward independence as I complete the YASC program and gain skills that will help me find work.

Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to live independently and become a responsible individual.
