Happy New Year JPP!! A Note From Jessica

Wow 2021 was quite a year! There was a lot of challenges but also some bright spots.

Since I have returned from maternity leave I have been so impressed and proud of the many accomplishments you have all made. Families have increased their income, savings, and enrolled in college savings for their children!! Wow! Amazing! Families have completed college education classes, certifications and graduated with Bachelors degrees!! So cool! Families have prioritized health and mental health! So much good happened last year!

AND there was some challenges. If you did not achieve what you hoped last year there is ALWAYS time! There is always time to invest in your future, there is always time to change your path. We are here for you! We are excited to support you on your new goals and walk with you to achieve success no matter what that looks like for each of you!

Please join us next Thursday, Jan. 20th, via ZOOM to talk about plans for this year! You will get to hear from our friend John Bucci from the Workforce Center about achieving goals, and you will have the opportunity to join a 60 day challenge that, I promise if you participate, your future self will thank you! And, you will also have the opportunity to meet JPP’s newest coach Dina!!

Please check out all of the great opportunities to plug in to JPP. We are here for you! We believe in you and we want to walk with you! JPP is a community!

Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Jessica
