Designed by Pearl: A Lifelong Learner’s Legacy in Every Thread
This limited-edition t-shirt was custom-designed by Pearl, a proud JARC graduate whose journey with JARC spans decades. Pearl first connected with JARC when a staff member visited her workplace in the ‘90s. She enrolled in computer classes, and loved them. “JARC showed us how to do a lot of stuff,” she recalls with a smile.
When she returned to Chicago in 2003, Pearl dove into JARC’s CNC program and kept learning, taking more classes in Microsoft Office and computer skills. “They had a good graduation for us. They gave us those little papers and everything. It was nice. I loved it.” Her training opened doors, from warehouse work to a job at Walgreens operating machines she once didn’t feel qualified to touch. Before long, she was training others.
Now retired, Pearl returned to JARC once again, not as a student, but as a t-shirt designer. Her winning entry captures the heart of JARC’s mission. “I tried to put everything that I knew that JARC did. My niece helped me put the design on the shirt.”
Her message is clear: “JARC is the best place to go, and it’s free. You can learn for free.”
Designed by Pearl. Worn in celebration of learning, for life.
