Toni White is a Hough native and an alumnus of John Hay High school. She is a True2U mentor, a career awareness program that prepares eighth-grade students for their transition from middle school to high school. Her ultimate interest is workforce development for underserved post-incarcerated men and women with employment barriers. Her project will include collaboration with the Veterans Administration and various nonprofits that coordinate job fairs and hiring events for this target population. She believes in addition to job readiness and employment preparation, soft skills such as dependability, flexibility, professionalism and respect will assist post-incarcerated individuals obtaining meaningful employment and an improved quality of life. Additionally, employment opportunities for this demographic will make communities safer and reduce recidivism. Toni is pursuing a BA in Nonprofit Administration at Cleveland State University.
