start your homecoming

Get inspired by our client stories

Homecomers choose and start careers with meaning, money, and joy.

Hear their real world results;
feel their glow. 

To do meaningful work that pays, you will have to learn to think and behave differently. 

These stories serve two purposes: 

1. To demonstrate what's possible with our support

2. To expose the gaps between how our clients think and act and how you think and act (because the only way to change your life is to change your life)



If you want the kind of results you hear from them, ask yourself: 

  • What do they trust and believe that I'm not? 
  • How are they showing up for themselves in ways that I'm not? 
  • How are they taking action in ways that I'm not? 



HOW TO LISTEN

From one month to 11 years after YCH, find stories you can relate to.  

Take in the transformational short-term and long-term benefits of doing work that supports the life you want to live and the person you want to be. And how YCH helped them get there.
