Her years working in Cleveland\u2019s public schools showed her the power of providing intervention directly in the learning environment. That set the stage for her to develop a business model to bring specialized support to as many kids as possible.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>THE SOLUTION<\/h3>\n<p>Angela\u2019s idea was to build a network of licensed counselors and arm them with a thoughtful curriculum to help troubled kids thrive. Her counselors would provide services onsite at schools, giving kids the mediation needed at the right place and time to maximize impact.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>THE FUEL<\/h3>\n<p>Through JumpStart, Angela received the advice, connections and funding needed to drive the growth of her business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jumpstartinc.org\/company\/making-difference-consulting\/\">Making A Difference Consulting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #67c1de;\"><em>\u201cMaking A Difference Consulting can now help hundreds of thousands of children, because JumpStart helped me see the possibilities for my business.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #67c1de;\"><em><strong>&#8211; Angela C.

She\u2019s also secured funding to further enhance her curriculum to prepare for expanding the business nationwide. Angela continues to hit every milestone she sets for her business.
