In a 2008-2009 TCAPS survey of STEP students, transportation was a major barrier to education for young women. We would like to offer a special thank you to Zonta of Traverse City and mAIDens of Michigan for their donation / mini-grant award to help young women in need of transportation. Additionally, STEP Intern Abby Jordan, from Ferris State University, developed a program called Roadmap to Success to assist youth, eligible for STEP services, in obtaining their drivers license. Click here to read quotes from some of the students who benefitted from the Roadmap to Success program.
