Educational Programs
Education
One of the challenges our families face is trying to obtain an education when they don’t have the money to pay bills and support system to make it all fall into place.
We require our participants to reach for higher education whether it’s for a GED, trade or college. Our team works with each participant to help them see that they were designed on purpose... for a purpose. Part of that purpose is discovering the gifts God has given them that they can use in a career.
After the participant has decided what they have a passion and talent for - Ripple of One works with them on all levels to make it possible for them to achieve their degree or certification.
Internships
Ripple of One partners with multiple businesses and organizations in Oconee and Pickens County to provide our clients with paid internships. The Ripple intern is paid by Ripple of One and learns work skills, on the job training, and stability. Participants may spend this money on living expenses or anything that is in their budget. We’ve created a monthly survey for the partnering companies in order to ensure strong communication on the participant’s progress. Employers treat our clients like true employees. They are interviewed, hired based on eligibility, reviewed periodically.
