When Herithier arrived in Birmingham from the Democratic Republic of Congo, he was still finding his footing.

He didn’t speak English, had no formal education, and didn’t have a clear picture of what his future could look like. Then, through Inspiritus’ Youth Mentoring program, a new door opened. With support from his case manager, Herithier connected with Job Corps, where he discovered a passion and a gift for mathematics. He worked hard, earned his high school diploma and forklift certification, and was named Student of the Year . Today, he’s working, focused on supporting his family, and dreaming even bigger. His goal? To pursue higher education and become an engineer. “I know that I’m really good at math. I’ve changed my story.” And he has. One milestone at a time. ❤️ #Inspiritus #RefugeeSuccess #YouthEmpowerment #Education #FromSurvivingToThriving
