In Arvada, the city is welcoming a new Colorado nonprofit into the community.
CrossPurpose , a faith-based nonprofit fighting poverty through career development, officially opened its doors in the city on Wednesday. It is their third location after seeing much success in both their Denver and Englewood locations.
“I didn’t think I was going to learn as much as I did here or grow as much as a person,” DaJaNae Segodia said.
Today Segodia has transformed that knowledge into a career as an administrator. She’s also leaving behind a past filled with uncertainty.
“You get stuck in the work life. Work to live, work, live, you’re just paying your bills,” she said.
None of it, she says, would be possible without CrossPurpose.
“We really focus on the individual person and say ‘What is a 3 to 10 year journey to actually get you out of poverty and to create wealth?'” CEO Jason Jans said.
Now they will be able to serve those living in Arvada.
