Overview
Mission
The specific mission of the organization is to coordinate resources to inspire and empower people to acheive their full potential.
What it reported doing in 2024
School age program - school age program has shown recent growth primarily due to the steady work program. Steady work addresses generational rural poverty one young person at a time. Participants are provided meaningful, initial work experiences that are designed to develop soft skills and achieve goals participants set for themselves in unique workforce entry plans. Participants are aged 14-24 and employed on average 20 hours per week. Intake includes screening for barriers to employment including literacy, educational attainment, possession of a driver's license, other job skills, and experience. During intake, participants also set goals for themselves. Career development can include assistance with applications directly to available jobs but may also mean assistance in applying to a trade school or community college and assistance with financial aid paperwork. Participants are linked to community resources for specific topics such as fiscal management. Often basic concepts like the opening of bank accounts and paying bills, or understanding interest and loans require specific tutelage. The program uses a network of local employers to help participants seek out full time employment. (622 served)
