1,000 new graduates, and over 2,500 people out of poverty in Colorado. What an accomplishment!
As I sat among the crowd at Cross Purpose’s latest graduation ceremony, I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride and joy. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter, tears, and heartfelt applause as we celebrated the achievements of the graduates who had completed this life-changing program. And to think, this ceremony marked a significant milestone for Cross Purpose – the graduation of our 1,000th member.
Being a volunteer mentor at Cross Purpose, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many incredible individuals, each with their own unique journey and story to tell. As I looked out at the sea of faces, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of connection to each and every one of them. These are not just graduates; they are warriors who have overcome challenges, embraced opportunities, and transformed their lives for the better.
As many of you already know, Cross Purpose is a career development program for those who come from challenging backgrounds. But it’s so much more than just a program – it’s a community, a support system, and a lifeline. It’s a place where individuals from all walks of life come together to learn, grow, and ultimately, thrive. Through a combination of job training, personal development, and mentorship, Cross Purpose empowers its participants to break free from the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.
At this graduation ceremony, I was thrilled to see many familiar faces who have become like family to me over the years. To witness their growth, resilience, and determination firsthand is truly inspiring. From learning new skills to building their own businesses, each graduate has embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, and I couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of that journey.
As we celebrated the 1,000 th-graduate milestone, it served as a reminder of the incredible impact that Cross Purpose has had on the lives of so many individuals in our community. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the lives that have been forever changed and the ripple effect of positivity that comes from each success story.
So, here’s to Cross Purpose, to the graduates (past, present, and future), and to the countless lives that have been touched and transformed by this remarkable program. May we continue to celebrate success, empower one another, and build a brighter future for all.
