Your Generosity in Action

Thanks to your support, United Way of the Black Hills is proud to share real stories — told in the words of our partners — that show how your generosity is making a difference every day.

Black Hills Special Services Cooperative — Career Learning Center of the Black Hills Workforce Ready Program

Greg balanced full-time work and family responsibilities while pursuing his GED® through the CLCBH program in Custer.

He successfully passed his final exam in December 2021 at the age of 32. At the time his testimonial was collected, he was exploring a career in plumbing, a high-demand field that will provide stability for his family.

His story showcases the importance of accessible education and career pathways that help meet the workforce demands of the area.

Thanks to generous donors like you, United Way of the Black Hills is able to make stories like this possible!
