Success in Franklin County

Summer began working with the Farmington Opportunity Center earlier this year. When she enrolled, she told staff that she was interested in law enforcement. To help her explore her interests before pursuing a degree, staff helped Summer to research different career options within law enforcement and arranged for her to have an informational interview to learn more about careers in law enforcement. Once she determined that she was ready to pursue a degree, staff assisted her with enrolling in full-time classes at Central Maine Community College studying Criminal Justice. They also helped her with applying to the Parents as Scholars (PaS) program. Last month, Summer got a job at Knowlton Corner Farm which provides her with flexibility around her school schedule and her child’s schedule.
