FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR

"I believe it truly takes a village to raise a child. Every young person deserves a village of people who see their potential, believe in them, encourage them, and help them discover who they are capable of becoming. It brings me great joy to be a part of their village and to support young people and their families along the way."

Lori Dale

SHIPHT Director

Career exploration opened his eyes to industries he had never considered, while meeting local employers and professionals made his goals feel real and achievable.
