Singing our Praises

"I am proud to be part of the Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow. This organization changes lives. FIT empowers clients with skills they need to break the cycle of poverty and build a productive life for themselves and their families. FIT goes beyond filling material needs. It is the embodiment of the old aphorism, 'Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime.'"
- Paula Francis, Local News Anchor and FIT Board Member

"FIT not only changes the lives of their clients, they provide economic benefits to our entire community"
- Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman

"Since its inception, FIT has become a core contributor to this community. It is truly living up to its mission of providing better jobs and brighter futures for the people who need these valuable services. I totally support FIT's mission and vision and the implementation of both."
- Larry J. Mosley, Director, Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR)
