EWDD partner Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD), in partnership with the LA:RISE program, provided educational and on-the-job training services to Denise, a young woman facing financial hardship and dramatic personal loss. With CRCD's help and mentorship Denise got the job and reached her goal. “My goal was to become the first female driver for CRCD Enterprises,” she said. “I’ve taken a lot of steps to get to this point and I’m determined to see my dream become a reality.”
