CLIENTS
Jeffrey Richberg
Location: New York
Jeffrey Richberg grew up in East Harlem. After finishing high school, he was in and out of trouble, bouncing between jobs, and struggling to support himself. After seeing a television ad for the LIFT-The Bronx Local Office, he contacted the volunteers for help with a Section 8 housing application. "The housing authority was prolonging my case as long as they could. The volunteers looked right into it for me and made phone calls," Jeff says.
VOLUNTEERS
Maryann Rosa age: 21
Location: New York
Affiliation: Fordham University
Maryann Rosa grew up in the Bronx, and upon entering Fordham University, she knew that she wanted an opportunity where she could give back to her neighborhood. “I wanted a volunteer experience where I could learn the roots causes of the issues that faced my community, and also something active that would provide me the training and resources to work with adults.” Now in her third year with LIFT, Maryann feels she has not only gotten to know her community better, but she has been able to give back at the same time.
