Jack Hartley’s found his footing at Grandpa Joe’s warehouse—his first real job in two and a half months—and it’s more than just work; it’s purpose. After years navigating disabilities and mental health challenges, Jack refused to let them define his future. Through InVEST, a state-funded program partnering with Achieva, he’s not only earning a fair wage but thriving. His job coach, Jack Doran, calls him a standout—motivated, resilient, and growing every day.
