STEPUP MINISTRY MISSION
StepUp Ministry is a three-step program that provides pathways for people to overcome barriers and transform lives by providing employment prep assistance, life skills, and long-term connections to support growth personally and professionally.
Employment Academy - teaching job readiness: resume writing, interviewing skills, and how to dress for success, along with connecting participants with employers who provide livable wages.
Life Skills Program - a 48-week program where participants are paired with Co-Partners who walk alongside the participant, holding them accountable through the four phases as they learn financial literacy, goal setting, developing communication tools, and more. If they have children, they are required to attend one of our Children’s Programs (broken out by age), where they learn topics similar to what their parents are learning, but at an age-appropriate level.
After graduation, participants can join the Alumni Group where participants continue to grow personally and professionally with the help of various community partners.
STEPUP VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
StepUp Ministries is in need of volunteers on Thursday evenings at HBBC to help with the Children’s program. This allows the alumni to stay connected, learn, and grow by participating in the classes offered without the worry of childcare. For more information or to volunteer, contact Alicia Allen, StepUp Academy Program Coordinator (aallen@stepupministry.org).
