Snohomish
County Workforce Development Council 917 - 134th Street S.W.,
Suite B-3 Everett, WA 98204 |
Station,
24 people opened savings accounts, some for the first time. These
savings accounts are just one of many steps each participant will
take as part of Build for Tomorrow, a new Individual Development
Account (IDA) program for low-income Snohomish County residents.
about
the 11 members of the Snohomish County WDC AmeriCorps Program,
it is more appropriate to say they got great things done. They
put their idealism to work; they committed 11-months of their
lives to their community; they each completed more than 1,700
hours of service; they sacrificed to help others; they increased
the ability of more than 1,000 teens to find jobs, be leaders,
and make positive life choices; and they were role models to all
who surrounded them. 
Workforce
Development Council's 4th annual Celebrate Success dinner and awards
ceremony was a huge success. The event was held at the Future
of Flight Museum in Mukilteo, Washington and featured keynote speaker
Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, former NASA astronaut and current President and
CEO of Seattle's Museum of Flight. Dr. Dunbar spoke about
the history of our nation's involvement in space exploration and
research as well as the need for more young Americans to pursue
education in math and science fields.
