Testimonials
“My STEP experience was a total contrast to what my life was like up until this point. I was referred to United Against Poverty by one of their community partner organizations and I began the STEP program uncertain and unsure, not knowing what to expect, but desperately wanting something different. I was not disappointed; the experience was extraordinary! It was here that I discovered my true potential. Thanks to United Against Poverty, I am currently employed at Treasure Coast Compassionate Care, and am the highest paid member of their team.”
