Testimonials

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.

I commend the AnnieRuth Foundation for their work with schools, companies, community organizations and families to transform the conditions and systems that lead to healthier kids. The Foundation’s focus empowers and influences communities through exposure to resources and best practices that transform choices, promote healthy environments and encourage healthy nutritional lifestyles.

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!

“The Annie Ruth Foundation went above and beyond to not only prepare an important and dynamic presentation, but independently took the time to understand our group’s unique needs and actually customized a presentation to best support our specific class goals. After these two presentations (Public Speaking & Diversity in Action), we feel even more confident and prepared for our students’ upcoming meeting with the Department of Justice in Washington, DC!”

Thank you, Annie Ruth Foundation!

I would like to thank the AnnieRuth Foundation for delivering such outstanding community outreach to our residents. Young adults are in need of guidance in order to be successful in life. The facilitators’ enthusiasm in delivering a difficult topic, Breaking the Cycle, is truly appreciated. Our young people need enlightenment nowadays, more than ever.

Thank you from all of us at University Plaza!!!

Community Manager, University Plaza Apartments

Through the AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program, I’ve learned ways to be successful; from learning how to perform well during an interview, to speaking out more when in public, to learning how to start my own business. The experience has given me confidence and has equipped me with tools to comfortably handle any challenge that comes my way. I am very thankful to the AnnieRuth Foundation for providing this opportunity.

I was so excited when I learned that I would be working at a publishing company! There was never a dull moment working with my mentor. I am extremely blessed for being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s summer internship program because I was able to learn more about my future career of becoming a journalist and got paid for it. It was an amazing experience!

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. The children and families were very happy and proud to be a part of the Christmas party. We are looking forward to having many other events hosted on our property in the near future.

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!
