LIVES PROGRAM 15TH YEAR REUNION GALA (Continued)

NEW LIVES PROGRAM GRADUATE

In May, Melissa joined the list of alumni to graduate from Arc GLOW’S LIVES program at SUNY Geneseo. Congratulations, Melissa!

With the success of the LIVES program, at Wednesday’s gala in front of around 100 people, Arc GLOW gave a new announcement. “Since our 2021 merger creating Arc GLOW, we began thinking about developing a similar program for the northern region of our GLOW service area — Genesee and Orleans,” said Martin Miskell, CEO of Arc GLOW. “Well I’m here to share tonight that plans are in place to do just that! Thanks to the hard work and wealth of knowledge of all the Arc GLOW staff connected to LIVES, we are unveiling a new program, partnering with Genesee Community College (GCC)! I am very excited to announce that our new college experience program with GCC is called Genesee IGNITE.”

Genesee IGNITE stands for Inspiring Growth and Nurturing Independence Through Education. It is currently on target to kick off this fall at GCC’s Batavia campus. The two-year program will have an academic and vocational focus, covering areas including: budgeting, health and wellness, financial literacy and money management, relationship building and social skills, career exploration, community engagement, and independent living. Arc GLOW is now accepting applications for Genesee IGNITE. The initial class that starts at the end of August will begin with five students. Download an application here.
