The face of 'Now Hiring'
In under a year at Home Depot's Midtown Atlanta store, Bobby's picture ended up on Now Hiring posters nationwide — and three Homer Awards on his apron.
“Bobby serves as an exemplary ambassador for Home Depot and for Bridges from School to Work.”
Bobby started at The Home Depot's Midtown Atlanta store in April 2024. In less than a year, his photo ended up on "Now Hiring" posters displayed at Home Depot stores across the United States.
That kind of visibility isn't an accident. Bobby has won three "Homer Awards" — the company's internal recognition for employees who exemplify its core values: excellent customer service, respect for all, and doing the right thing. The badges pinned to his apron tell the story at a glance.
For Bobby, Home Depot is more than a job. It's a platform. For young adults entering the workforce through Bridges, seeing Bobby's face on a national recruitment campaign is proof that competitive integrated employment isn't a ceiling — it's a runway.
Stories like this happen because of partnership.
Hire through Bridges, fund a placement, refer a young adult, or share your own story.
