Ten ways CITC can help you pursue your resolutions for 2025
Ready to make some changes in the new year? CITC has the resources to help! Whether you’re resolved to enhance your job skills, commit to your recovery, or widen your network of support, you’ll find programs and services at CITC to make 2025 the year you achieve your goals.
Resolution 1: Widen Your Social Circle
Get to know other families with kids under the age of five—and enjoy cultural activities, food, crafts, outings, and resources. CITC’s Family Wellness programs offer regular opportunities throughout the year for families to gather, socialize, and create networks of support for each other.
Connect with our Home Visiting, Family Wellness, or Parents’ Journeys programs at citci.org/family-services.
Resolution 2: Open a New Door
Who has time to learn a new job skill when you’re already trying to pay rent or support your family? With CITC’s Supported Work Experience, you won’t miss out on making a salary while you gain new skills. Our apprenticeships combine classroom instruction with on-the-job training, while Job Placement allows you to earn while learning.
