Home Start is most grateful to be a part of Lucky Duck Foundation’s new $1 Million Region-Wide Homeless Employment and Job Training Initiative.
Their generous grant to support our Home Start Thrift Boutique and Bright Futures Candles social enterprises will provide employment readiness, job training skills, and wraparound supportive services in trauma-informed settings for Transition Age Youth (TAY) facing homelessness. Together we will help these youth achieve self-sufficiency and independence.
The Lucky Duck Foundation today announced the launch of a new, region-wide employment and job training initiative to provide work opportunities and on-the-job training for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Grants were made by the Lucky Duck Foundation to both expand existing programs and launch new programs across several verticals, including construction, culinary training, food rescue, community beautification, Transition Age Youth (TAY), conflict resolution, and more. This commitment expands and extends LDF’s initial $1 million employment and job training investment, which benefited well over 500 individuals.
