[On-screen text: Inspirational story #6]

Narrator: Répit works in the now and provides a positive influence for the future to many young people.

Caroline: Maybe I'll develop my social skills—more than I would by staying in my own living room.

[Caroline is sitting in an armchair on her phone.]

I'm not really a social person. So even when the case worker texts me in the morning, it's a struggle for me to approach people. Maybe I'll get into the habit of telling myself "This isn't working" when I want to stay in my little cocoon. I think it'll help me get to know myself, too.

Anne-Marie: I'm going to go to school to become a case worker. Maybe it's this place that inspired it. That's what I'm aiming for. I don't know exactly where I'll be in a few years, but things will certainly get better.

[Anne-Marie is smiling, walking alone, and then accompanied by Caroline. They join other girls, and laugh together on the park benches.]

Dave: I'm considering studying horticulture in Nicolet, or something similar.

[Dave on a balance board, juggling.]

Anne-Marie: I want to be a case worker because I've always loved helping people. It comes naturally. Someone asks for my help, wants to talk, I'm there. No lectures. I'm just there.

[Marie and Caroline glance at each other knowingly and laugh.]

I think that would make me a good case worker. I can be there for people, empathetic, resourceful … All qualities that would be good to have as a case worker. And, as I was saying, I've had examples. I've known several case workers, and it looks like satisfying work.

I think that the users and volunteers are the heart of an organization.
