✨“If I never worked here and you didn’t push me and encourage me, I wouldn’t have gone back.” – Jarice (and y’all… he was tearing up 🥹 and told us he has never cried in front of anyone before).
1️⃣From day one, I’ve been nudging this kid toward finishing school. When we sat down for a strategy session, we uncovered the main roadblock money and confidence I knew then it was part of our mission to get him back on track.
❤️The pursuit of purpose is at our core. Through workforce development, we help people bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be.
👨🏾🎓Jarice isn’t just our MVP—he’s the longest-standing team member in Happy Movers history and now the very first recipient of the Happy Movers Scholarship: $2,000 toward completing his final year at UVA!
🤗We are beyond proud of him for taking the leap and chasing that finish line.
🙏🏻And this moment? It’s made possible by our clients. Every month, we invest 10% of our net proceeds back into the community to impact individuals, schools, and organizations. So from the bottom of our hearts—thank you for helping make this milestone possible for Jarice.
💡 To my fellow business owners: never be afraid to help your employees pursue their dreams even if it means they eventually leave. When you push someone toward their purpose, you’re not losing them; you’re graduating them. That open space then becomes the seat for the next person you’re meant to impact.
