Alumni Success Stories​

Alumni Success Stories​

Since opening our doors in 1986, our organization has helped more than 3,500 individuals and families in Cuyahoga County.

While most alumni have gained the skills necessary to regain their independence, they remain connected to the Front Steps family. All are welcome to participate in select programs and events, and some have even formed an alumni group.

The Front Steps Housing and Services Alumni Group meets to discuss the progress in their lives, give each other support and brainstorm ways to give back to Front Steps. Many alumni return to teach programs on-site, talk to residents or even organize fundraisers that benefit Front Steps.

Georgia came to Front Steps with her daughter in 2010 and they began the healing process as a family.

Piccola came to Front Steps in 2008, and with the support of Front Steps staff and residents, finished her bachelor’s degree in social work from Cleveland State University (CSU).
