Testimonials

Through the AVID elective class, students become a family and participate in a number of activities geared towards college and careers. Your resume writing workshop was a perfect fit for our AVID students and allowed them an opportunity to delve deeper into their career by actually strengthening their resume and preparing for (an actual) interview. This is an awesome workshop that I would recommend for students and adults alike as they seek to build or strengthen their career portfolio and to ensure that they are adequately prepared for interviews.

Thank you again for all that you do!

I want to share with you just how proud I am of you. To see first hand how you have developed and perfected your skills was spectacular. I was in awe at your polish and demeanor. Your communication skills were outstanding and it was obvious from the information you shared with the group how vast your knowledge of HR had become. It is indeed an honor to know you and share another moment in time participating in learning with you.

God Bless you Dee! I hope to meet with you soon to discuss how our non-profits can work together to make a difference!

We would like to thank the AnnieRuth Foundation and all of its volunteers for hosting the 4th Annual Christmas Party at University Plaza Apartments! All of our residents had a wonderful time.

Thank you very much for coming and presenting (the Resume Writing and Behavioral Interviewing Techniques workshop) to my students. You were able to answer (the tough) questions that I wasn’t 100 percent certain of.

My experience at Pediatric Care Center was amazing! I am so thankful for the AnnieRuth Foundation because they gave me a chance to see (first hand) what I will be doing for the rest of my life; helping children. I never thought I would be selected but when I received the call, I was so happy and so thankful words still cannot describe how blessed I feel to have had this opportunity!

Being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program has given me the upper hand when it comes to completing college assignments. I’ve been able to share the knowledge, skills and wisdom that I received during the internship with my colleagues at BCU and I’m already viewed as one who will excel in the competitive industry of Communications. The experience will also help me when I become an international motivational speaker. I am so very appreciative of the AnnieRuth Foundation for affording me this opportunity!
