Life Facilitators
Faith & Finance and Work Life
Help lead Faith & Finance and/or Work Life courses designed to support low-income individuals and families in setting and achieving their goals. These courses focus on building financial stability, finding meaningful work, and managing the balance between finances and personal life. Don’t worry—training is provided by our Center Facilitator Team, so you’ll be fully prepared to make a difference!
Allies
Faith & Finance and Work Life
As an Ally, you’ll be a dedicated mentor, guiding participants through the course and helping them succeed. You’ll team up with the Facilitator to review and track their progress, offering encouragement and support along the way. Even after participants graduate, you’ll continue to cheer them on and ensure they’re applying the valuable skills they’ve learned.
Business Recruiters
Work Life
As a Business Recruiter, you will partner with our Center Business Liaison to connect with local employers, building relationships and sharing the benefits of hiring graduates from our Work Life course. By fostering these connections, you’ll help open doors for our participants to find meaningful job opportunities.
Location Hosts
Classroom Sites, Meals, and Childcare
We’re looking for spaces to host our classes that can accommodate seating for 15 people at tables. For our evening sessions, we ask that a church, organization, or individuals provide dinner for participants over the course of 8 classes, and our staff is more than happy to offer meal suggestions. Additionally, childcare is needed at the class sites, and we’ll work closely with you to set up the best options for the children. Your support helps make these sessions possible!
