Our holistic approach includes the provision of basic need items, workforce development, wraparound support, and neighborhood revitalization. We hope that you will engage in the effort, as together, we can ensure that those with the greatest need become our greatest priority.
About the Position: Got muscle? How about compassion and the ability to communicate the mission? Ending poverty is going to take some heavy lifting.

The Neighbor-to-Neighbor team provides critical support to those in need while also serving as the liaison between the organization and all those seeking to help the cause. This position requires a high level of professionalism and maturity.
