On November 3rd, 2011 at5:00pm the Y-Evergreen Care school honored its 18 graduates who successfully earned their home health aide certification after completing an intensive two week training course at the YWCA. Family members, friends, instructors, and the YWCA board joined together to congratulate these graduates on their hard work and accomplishments. Attendees enjoyed a heartfelt ceremony in which two graduates gave moving speeches about their experiences during the program. After the official procession, graduates and supporters gathered to enjoy a homemade meal and recount stories of their struggles and successes. These women left the ceremony excited about beginning their new career path in the health care industry. The YWCA of Queens staff and board extends their congratulations and wishes the graduates success in their future endeavors!
