Brandy first came to the Center for Independent Living in 2020 while still in high school, referred for a vocational evaluation. That first connection opened the door to years of growth, learning, and self-discovery.
Through CIL’s money management workshops and Soft Skills to Pay the Bills program, Brandy gained confidence, improved her teamwork and communication, and became a standout participant—always ready to engage, volunteer, and lead. In 2024, she was even invited to speak on a student panel for Project 10’s Winter Institute, where she shared how CIL and her school transition team helped her become more independent and self-assured.
Brandy will be exiting the school system in January 2025 and continues to work with Vocational Rehabilitation on job placement services. She’s motivated, capable, and ready to thrive—thanks in large part to the support she received through CIL programs.
