For the past year, Jake Hogan has been a phenomenal addition to the CONNECT team through the NeighborWorks America VISTA Program. Today is Jake's last day at TND as he embarks on a new journey as a paralegal at a civil rights law firm in Washington, DC. We’re thrilled for him and confident his amazing talents will shine there. Jake's work has been incredible—from developing a green jobs strategy for the Chelsea Good Jobs Coalition to training our CONNECT team on using AI for resume creation. His contributions have significantly increased our capacity, and his willingness to help with anything will be greatly missed. On behalf of TND and the NeighborWorks America VISTA Program, thank you, Jake, for your dedication and outstanding contributions. Good luck in DC! You'll be missed.
