CLIMB Wyoming receives Nonprofit Impact Award

From Trib.com:  CLIMB Wyoming receives Nonprofit Impact Award

ServeWyoming recently awarded CLIMB Wyoming with the Nonprofit Impact Award, which is given twice a year to one nonprofit organization in Wyoming.

CLIMB Wyoming trains and places low-income single mothers in careers so that they can successfully support their families. Graduates of the program work in fields based on Wyoming's workforce needs, such as office administration, health care, welding and short haul trucking. Training sites in Cheyenne, Laramie, Rock Springs, Casper, Jackson and Gillette have served more than 1,500 women.

“CLIMB Wyoming has the opportunity everyday to see the impact that training and support can have on the lives of single moms and their families,” Ray Fleming Dinneen, executive director of CLIMB Wyoming, said in a media release. “It is gratifying that ServeWyoming recognizes the visible impact our evidenced-based approach makes for families in Wyoming.”

ServeWyoming is a statewide nonprofit that promotes service and volunteerism. It created the Nonprofit Impact Award in 2012 to honor Wyoming nonprofits that make a lasting impact. This year, the focus was on nonprofits that successfully create, maintain and demonstrate measurable outcomes.

“CLIMB Wyoming truly embodies the strategy of utilizing outcomes in all areas of their operations and programming,” Rachel Chadderdon, executive director of ServeWyoming, said in a media release. “Their program achieves results and life-changing stories of success that demonstrate meaningful, lasting impact on the participants within their program and on our state.”

CLIMB Wyoming was honored with an award banquet June 14 in Cheyenn
