Opening Doors to Brighter Tomorrows

Jobs are the foundation of personal and family self-sufficientcy and the core of Impact's work.

Since 1974, Impacts neighborhood-based programs have helped over 20,000 people enter the workforce.

All of Impact's employment programs echo our "build on strength" philosophy and help people overcome barriers to entering or reentering the workforce. Homelessness, criminal records, lack of education, family conditions, transportation, lack of attire, a resume, or just the courage to go out and try - Impact works to find and deliver the encouragement and support needed to help a person make it into the workforce and succeed there.

Whether we're serving TANF recipients, recently returned ex-offenders, or homeless veterans, every person enrolled in Impact's employment and training programs gets the personal help needed to more productively use their skills and talents.

Our assessment and case management services help people identify their personal resources, while helping individuals create a personal plan to leverage their strengths and overcome barriers. Training and work experience help people acquire skills, knowledge, confidence, and the new habits and social skills needed to increase their work readiness, find a job and more importantly, retain it.

Impacts job developers are the ambassadors forging connections between those we serve and the world of work; for those who lack the confidence to sell themselves, the broad shoulders of Impact's committed team make the difference.

Impact opens doors of opportunities for people who need a chance. Every two hours, every work day of the year, another job seeker from Impact steps through the door of opportunity, and begins a journey toward a brighter tomorrow.
