As a young high school dropout, Chrissy Boyce was the recipient of a job training program through The O.I.C. of Washington – A nonprofit organization that strives to eliminate unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, and racism. The O.I.C. started her on a 22-year career in the dental field. She spoke about her success in this program in front of congress in her early twenties and was able to work her way off of state assistance, as a single mother, before her oldest child was in kindergarten.
