A lack of work contributes to poverty, crime, homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, unplanned pregnancies, divorce, and suicide. By helping students discover and experience the dignity of work, Elevate Work brings hope to the hopeless and helps break these destructive behavioral cycles caused by perpetual unemployment.
Elevate Work students discover the importance and dignity of work. They learn communication and problem-solving skills, gain confidence for interviews, create a resume, and better understand what employers need and want in their best employees. It connects the unemployed and underserved population of our community with the necessary tools to uncover and overcome the roadblocks which are keeping them from finding and keeping a job they enjoy.
