Lynell – Returning Citizen

December 11, 2017

“The first class treatment that UPO showed me was everything that I needed to know. The staff at UPO helps and receives you with open arms. You’ll swear that they’re your family…I don’t know how they do it, but they pay every single client that comes through their doors with attention. Every. Last. One. Of. Them.”

Lynell came to UPO as a “returning citizen” who was looking for a new opportunity and a second chance at a better life. He registered
with our job readiness programs and was immediately assigned a case manager.

Since program completion, Lynell has obtained three jobs, his own apartment, and purchased a brand new car! He has received several work awards and is considered a top employee! Listen to his story in our “Dream Builders” video! He is UPO!
