Valentina's Story
“Truly Identity has been a fundamental part of who I am today as a person.”
Valentina R, Parent
Identity not only teaches and models for young people the skills they need to thrive in the modern world, but also works to support their ultimate support system – the family.

"Since I have been part of the Identity family --because that is how they make me feel, as a family— the support has been comprehensive, from resources and financial assistance for myself and my children to an attentive ear when I have needed it or a word of encouragement when I wanted to give up out of fear. Identity has marked a before and after for me. I owe Identity my present and my promising future.”

Valentina R. first encountered Identity when her son joined Jóvenes de Mañana, our after-school elementary reading program. She attended parent workshops to learn how to engage in his education and be a champion for his success. Later she joined Identity’s Parent Leadership Academy and learned how to be a champion for the community. When Identity opened up a Workforce Development program to parents, Vanessa seized the opportunity, and began attending the Early Childhood Education course, delivered in partnership with Montgomery College. After cleaning houses for 17 years, Valentina says this training changed her life:

“Thanks to Identity the words fear and uncertainty are no longer in my future. Today I think about my future with joy, security and confidence because I have a profession that allows me to continue reaching goals. Today, I feel capable of achieving many things that years ago I thought were not for me. Working with children is the best experience I have ever had and I owe that to Identity.”
