St Joseph the Worker

St. Joseph the Worker helps individuals return to the workforce and become self-sufficient, productive members of society.

During the first six months of this fiscal year, St. Joseph the Worker has achieved the following successes:

• Helped 1294 people go back to work, averaging nearly 215 every month!
• $9.410 an hour was the starting pay rate
•  47% of the jobs offered benefits
• More than 2448 different individuals received services ranging from one-on-one job search assistance, job-readiness resources and referrals, as well as encouragement and support to pursue a self-sufficient lifestyle

St. Joseph the Worker is committed to expanding our impact by forming collaborations with parishes, supportive housing providers and social services to help more homeless individuals than ever before find quality employment and achieve self-sufficiency.

As a result of this initiative,  St. Joseph the Worker has established satelite services at 20 locations throughout Maricopa County.  Our growth over the last year, from helping individuals secure 925 jobs to helping secure nearly that many in the first four months of this fiscal year, can largely be attributed to our Outreach and Expansion project.
