 Our
Vision -- Unemployment and poverty
are a distant memory.
Our Mission -- To equip churches
and faith-based organizations to provide job training and
support enabling everyone to secure meaningful employment.
Jobs
for Life™ is a rapidly expanding
movement rooted in the guiding principle that to lift people
out of joblessness, hopelessness, despair, poverty and the
roadblocks of circumstance, they need far more than just a
job. They need to have a life. A life filled with understanding,
confidence, self-control, coaching, learning, guidance, and
faith.
They begin building this life, with our help, by connecting
with their community, by becoming part of it, drawing strength
from its support, accepting responsibility, and by giving
of themselves in whatever ways they can.
We believe that just finding a job for someone who needs a
job–without providing much more–has never worked,
no matter how many times it’s been tried. We believe
people in poverty, in confusion, who need a way out, who need
a job, must first be willing to build a life around and within
themselves.
Jobs for Life™ mobilizes community and faith-based organizations,
churches, business leaders, small business people, local government
and initiatives, institutions and individuals who choose to
engage in this work through their resources, their job opportunities,
their time, their love, their counsel, and by serving as mentors,
as coaches to those who are building new lives.
This is the ultimate expression of neighbors helping neighbors.
And this is why it works. We are not only helping people live
again, we are also helping all those companies who are fortunate
to hire them. Because we are building a remarkably stable,
dependable, committed, loyal, ethical and productive workforce.
Studies show that Jobs for Life™graduates keep and grow
in their jobs with a higher rate of job retention than those
of virtually every other jobs program.
Jobs for Life™ is reaching out all over America and
around the world, community by community, neighbor by neighbor,
helping those willing to accept responsibility to find a new
way, through a job that’s built on the strong foundation
of a new life.
Because without a life, there is no future.
