I am excited to share that I have received my EVSE Certification today! I feel truly blessed and honored to have accomplished such a feat. I am eternally grateful to Goodwill of North Georgia for opening this opportunity to the community and allowing someone like me to have access for gaining skills in such a cutting-edge industry. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the instructors at ChargerHelp! for not only teaching me in way that is simple enough to understand but for also sharing their experiences with challenges as an EVSE Tech in the field and how to overcome them. I have gained immense knowledge from you Brandon Smith, Vanden Stelly, Jonathan Kendall and I plan on using what I’ve learned to help drive the Clean Tech message of sustainability, one EVSE at a time. To my fellow classmates: Tim Sutton, W.C. Rose, April Wright, Kasele Mbungu, Raleigh Champion, Lee Allen and Tyler Myers… we did it! We’ve proved that with hard work, determination and dedication, we can achieve anything. I am blessed to have met such an amazing and supportive group. Thank you so much for your encouragement and your willingness to help. Always remember, the sky is never limit; we can reach as far as our drive will take us. It’s only up from here!

We're on a mission to help everyone home. And today, we're one step closer to that goal! The Rocket Community Fund is proud to announce that together with our partners at Goodwill of North Georgia and the National Black Empowerment Council, we're launching a pilot program to provide #Atlanta residents with the resources and knowledge they need to become homeowners and build generational wealth. We're investing $370K into this program, the "Homeownership Wealth Initiative," which will also feature a curriculum designed by Rocket Mortgage and a free subscription to Rocket Money. We're excited to see how this comprehensive program will help Atlanta residents build a stable financial future! Learn More: https://bit.ly/3WcgU25
