Years ago, an 18 year old young man struggled in his Los Angeles

high school. At that time, he could never have envisioned the impact the Transportation Communications Union Job Corps training program would have not only on his life but on countless others he has since advised, taught and guided into successful careers.
"When I was in high school, I was barely making it. I hadn't really thought about my future - I didn't have a plan or goal. When I graduated in 1979, college wasn't an option. At that time, my Dad was a union representative for the railroad and he encouraged me to go that route. But back then, it was really hard to get in. He saw a young guy working in his office and asked how he got there. When that young man told him about YWCA Greater Los Angeles Job Corps - this was the moment that changed my life."

Pelosi, from California, was recognized for more than 25 years of service in politics as well as the nation's first female House of Representatives speaker and first woman to lead a major U.S. political party. This year, Pelosi launched a woman-based agenda on the 165th anniversary of the Seneca Falls convention, advocating for equal pay for women, paid family leave and affordable child care, which she said is the biggest missing piece to the fulfillment of a woman's potential.
