Last year I participated in a "Jobs for Life" program at another Church, and I enjoyed it. It's an 8 week program for unemployed/underemployed people to be trained in seeking a job, how to interview, how to write resumes, principles of work -- all based on Christian principles and Biblical foundations.
THIS year (starting Tuesday) we will host this at my Church. Every Tuesday and Thursday night from Sep 30 through just before Thanksgiving, then we will have a graduation ceremony in our Morning Worship Service.
It's mostly minorities and or disadvantaged young people, either just graduated high school, or completing their GED, and lots of people from the community participate, including many of the businesses, many of whom have committed to hiring the graduates of this program.
I'm looking forward to this, as it's yet one more way our Church gets to "reach out" to our community and "make a difference".
Jobs for Life is a national program, and their website can be found here.
