She’s a
heartbreaker
She’s taken the plunge
out of high school and
into a pool of statistics.
You’re worried sick about
her future.
When Verda Washington, a long
time employee at the Federal Reserve
Bank in Downtown Portland, decided
to pursue other avenues it wasn’t easy.
After 20 years she wanted to provide
more than a service, there was some
thing more to her advantage, being
herself. A kind, thoughtful individual
she saw an opportunity to give the
Metropolitan Area direct, personalized
airport service.
Ms. Washington explains, “This
was not an easy choice for me. After 20
years, I wanted to enhance my life and
be good at it. 1 was getting to the point
that the main focus was giving back.”
Her service has done both.
A mentor at Thomas Jefferson high
school located at 5210 N. Kerby she
found being a mentor was better than a
role model. "Role models are perfect, I
am not, so I chose to be almost perfect.
You hear about sport figures being role
models until something goes wrong,
Why pay the high taxi fares?
....... or tolerate the
discomfort and the numerous
stops of a shuttle van.
Portland’s perfect solution....
She needs a job, but what
can she do without
training?
Job Corps can help her
get an education, learn
job skills, and earn
money while she learns.
Some centers offer child
care programs too. And
the best part? It’s all
tuition-free!
