As a BETTER WORK Volunteer, You Will be Set Up for Success

Tools & Resources

As a volunteer, you will learn about the expansive resources already available in our community. You will also help provide valuable feedback on how we can better these resources to meet the needs around us.

Training

Before you start, you will receive free training on how to build trustful relationships as you guide others on their journey to achieve their goal. Training is targeted to your role. Ongoing free development opportunities may also be available.

Community Makes the Difference

BETTER WORK serves as a hub for Jobs for Life in our communities. We partner with churches and nonprofit organizations, provide administrative tools, and train up leadership to host classes designed to ignite hope and transformation in the lives of graduates.

Our program also engages nonprofit and business partners who bring their experience into the classroom.

How You Can Help

Jobs for Life is only successful when offered in community with others. We need volunteers in the classroom to walk with participants as they grow their skills and examine the behaviors that have impacted their life’s journey. Every class is a beautiful learning experience and an opportunity for self-improvement for both participants and volunteers.

As a Jobs for Life Champion or Facilitator, you will bring friendship, support, gentle guidance, and sense of community needed for participants to overcome their personal barriers to employment.
