Our mission is to change the environment children of low-income single parents grow up in.  We can best do this by helping the parents level up vocationally through education.  This allows them to gain employment with more traditional hours so they can be more involved in their children's academic and social lives.  It also helps eliminate the stress of having financial issues every month.

Most low-income single parents would like to have a better job but have no idea where to start, are overwhelmed by the process, or just think they cannot do it without help.  This is where we come in.  We will give them an aptitude and interest test to see what they are good at and what they like to do.  This will lead them to choose a career path from the results.  We will help them find the best program, enroll, fill out FASFA papers, find scholarships, and arrange to help with any barriers they may have throughout the process.  This could include child care, transportation, tutoring, or anything else keeping them from completing their certification.

We want the program to be all-encompassing, we require financial literacy classes, personal wellness classes, and counseling classes for the participants.  These are to ensure that once they secure that new job they will be able to maximize their potential in that new position.

After completing the certification portion of the program, we will help them with their resume-building and interview skills to secure that new position they are seeking.  We stay in contact with our participants and are a continuing resource even after they graduate from the program.  

Through our program, low-income single parents are able to secure jobs that enable them to be around at night to read to their children when they are young, check their homework when they are older, and better monitor their social activities at night.  This creates an atmosphere that is conducive to that child being more successful academically, socially, and behaviorally.  We want to get to the root of the problem of students who struggle at school and we feel that changing the atmosphere that kids grow up in is the way to do that.
