Dear FSS participants (and community members),

 Happy August to you all! 

 Please wish a Happy August Birthday to Christine, Shemise, Alex, and Kim!  I hope your birthdays are fabulous and you are finding a little time to take a step towards your goals. 

Save the date for our FSS Connection Group Meeting on Monday, September 25, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.  Cori Laux and ADVOCAP staff will talk about their THV (Tiny Houses Village) and TBRA (Tenant Based Rental Assistance)  Programs.   

Check out these events and many more in this August newsletter or CLICK HERE:

 Career EXCELerate:  Career EXCELerate Wisconsin is a training program offered at no cost to individuals who want to find a career pathway but are struggling and would benefit from individual support.  At the end of the program, you would receive one of eight certificates to make yourself more employable and increase your take home pay.  Please see page 4 for more information. 

 Starting Point Program: Are you a young woman looking for direction in the areas of education, employment, self-esteem, and a healthy support system? Or maybe you’re a mother of young children looking for a way to provide for your family? If either of these descriptions speak to you, maybe Starting Point is for you. Starting Point is a free 13 week program that will empower you in many areas of life and provide a stable learning environment for your children while you learn. I am so excited that Starting Point is now offered in Oshkosh.  Take a chance and sign up! See page 11-14 for more details.  Classes start September 6th! 

 Please read the rest of this newsletter with educational, employment and community opportunities.  I wish you and your family a very Happy August!  Let’s continue to strive to meet your goals and strengthen your self sufficiency.  And as always,  please let me know how I can help you by calling me at 920-424-1470 ext. 133. 

 Your success is my success. 

Warm Regards!

Kay Hinton
