Largo, MD – “Phenomenal!”, was the expression used recently by Linda Thomas, a member of the Prince George’s County School Board upon her recent visit to Arbor Education & Training. She stated that, “the work this organization is doing helps empower the citizens of the county and ultimately will break the cycle of poverty and hopelessness that often devastates our communities.”

Ms. Thomas, the first elected official to visit Arbor, had an opportunity to speak with staff and clients to discuss the educational and employment challenges faced by the citizens of Prince George’s County. They shared candid stories of with Ms. Thomas and gave her personal perspectives of how they feel they are treated by society. Leslie Wright, a participant in the Arbor program, shared her interests in furthering her education and becoming self sufficient.

It is my goal and mission to make sure that these opportunities are available to every resident of Prince George’s County.”
