Next Move Success Stories

Natalie

After recently graduating college, I struggled to land a role in my field of study despite my relevant experience, countless applications, and interviews. That’s when I discovered Next Move Community Services and their Youth Workforce Program. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get some extra support in my job search—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Through the program, I received guidance on sharpening my interview skills, refining my career goals, and navigating the job search process more effectively. I shared my interest in pursuing a career in Human Resources, and the team at Next Move went above and beyond—connecting me with opportunities in that field and encouraging me every step of the way.

As I began volunteering at their community events to earn service hours, I found myself drawn to the mission and values of the organization. The more time I spent with them, the more I realized how much our values aligned. I expressed my interest in joining the team, and Executive Director, Kiany—who had been incredibly supportive of my career journey—offered to sponsor my HR certification, which I proudly completed.

Even more, I was given the opportunity to join the team as an HR Intern, where I’ve gained hands-on experience and learned so much about the field I’m passionate about. I’m incredibly grateful for the support, guidance, and opportunities Next Move has provided me.

To anyone who’s feeling stuck or unsure about their next move: I highly recommend joining their workforce program. They’re committed to your growth and truly care about helping you succeed!

When I first came to Next Move Community Services, I was simply looking for a second source

of income. I never imagined how much more I would gain. Through their work program, I

received the guidance and support I needed, making the experience smooth and accessible.

After completing the program, Kiany, the Executive Director, shared that they were looking to fill

a Peer Support Specialist position—someone around my age. Their belief in me and continued

encouragement made it impossible to say no.

Since joining the team, working at Next Move has become so much more than just a job—it’s

been truly purpose-fulfilling. Seeing the impact we make in our community is genuinely

breathtaking, and I feel proud to be part of something so meaningful. Even as a small

organization, we've been able to help so many people in powerful ways.

Here at Next Move, I’ve found my purpose and my passion. I’ve found a team I can call

family—people who show up for each other, who uplift one another, and who are deeply

committed to the work we do. What sets us apart is our belief in each other and our shared

dedication to success. We've created a healthy, supportive, and motivating environment, and

that energy shows in everything we do.

Our mission is to serve the community with heart. We make sure that every client who walks

into our office leaves with more hope and peace than when they arrived. That is the difference

I’ve been searching for—and that’s the difference we strive to make every single day.

We live by our 5Cs motto: Community, Collaboration, Compassion, Confidence, and

Commitment. I’m honored to be part of this vision, this movement for change, and I’m forever

grateful for the opportunities and growth that Next Move has given me.
