Stories of Resilience

Stories of Resilience

In everything we do, Norwescap’s work is centered on helping our neighbors overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and work toward a future where they and their families can thrive and write their own success stories. 

For 60 years, Norwescap’s mission has been to empower individuals and families across New Jersey by providing the support and resources needed to overcome poverty and build a better future. Through a comprehensive range of programs focused on education, employment, financial stability, health and nutrition, housing, and volunteerism, Norwescap addresses the root causes of poverty. By partnering with communities and investing in high-impact initiatives, we help people achieve self-sufficiency and create lasting, positive change in their lives.

The individuals and families we serve are active participants in their unique journeys, shaping their stories of progress and success. Each person’s path is unique, with its challenges and triumphs, yet the common thread that runs through all of them is their strength and resilience.
On this page, you’ll read the success stories and testimonies from individuals and families – like Nitosha Y. and Jasmine – who’ve overcome many challenges to thrive and ultimately give back to others.

We hope you’ll see something of yourself in these inspiring success stories. Contact our Engagement Partner team if you need assistance with education, employment, financial stability, health and nutrition, housing, or something else.
