Connecting community members to local resources in the Sí Se Puede Collective and mentoring local small business entrepreneurs in the fields of child care and food.My impact in this program in the words of a mentee: Spanish (original)"Me ha ayudado, me ha apoyado, me ha explicado, me ha hecho sentir importante como persona, ha tenido paciencia conmigo, me está dirigiendo por el camino del sueño que quiero hacer realidad. Vero es un gran apoyo en este programa. Cuando comencé pensé que me iba a resultar difícil pero con la ayuda de Verónica todo parece más fácil y ella nos está ayudando a prepararnos para el examen. Sólo puedo decir que es una gran líder y una excelente guía." English (translation)"She has helped me, she has supported me, she has explained to me, she has made me feel important as a person, she has been patient with me, she is directing me on the path of the dream that I want to come true, Vero is a great support in this program. When I started, I thought it would be difficult for me, but with Veronica's help, everything seems easier, and she is helping us prepare for the State Food Safety exam. I can only say that she is a great leader and an excellent guide."
