Impact Story
James was in a program in high school for individuals who need added guidance. Upon graduation he wasn't sure what his next step would be. Totally dependent on government/ family members help financially. His case manager suggested he stop by and see the programs at Brantley Center. He entered their program completed all steps and now works independently at our local grocery store. James says he feels happy that he can contribute to his household.
