Our Alumni Stories

My favorite memory from working at CCFL is assisting in child protective service worker training. During role play simulations, I was able to help trainees learn to cope with situations such as abusive live-in boyfriends walking in on interviews, sexual harassment, and other difficult scenarios. CCFL always does its best to ensure that the professionals it trains are prepared for a wide range of circumstances.
