“I want to thank Primavera for everything they have done for me. For providing housing for me when nobody else would give me a chance because of my criminal background. And for their patience of teaching me on-the-job training skills. I have come a long way because of their support to help me become a productive member of society. All the staff are professional, courteous, respectful, and go above and beyond to ensure their clients are on the right path to success.”

Kate Lawson:
"I view your participation in DTAP and Second Chance nothing short of divinity. Your impact was abundantly clear just in the participants alone. It was inspiring to me, and gave me a renewed sense of purpose in the important work being done. You gave them the tools to make that happen. It's not just getting them a job. It's changing the rest of their lives. It's an honor to work with you, and to know you. Congratulations on a wonderful event." (In reference to the Second Chance Re-Entry Job & Resource Fair that Primavera co-organizes annually.)
