Omar's Story

What if thousands of unemployed and under-employed people in Central Illinois were flourishing in the workplace and building healthy relationships because a team of community partners offered a place to belong, provided essential skills training and opened doors to meaningful job opportunities? We believe God has called us to love our neighbors by helping them meet basic needs. One basic need we all share? Employment. Helping people find and keep meaningful work can help our neighbors thrive financially, spiritually, emotionally and relationally. Community transformation is possible when we all come together.

What is Jobs for Life?

Jobs For Life is an 8-week program designed to help those who are unemployed or under-employed connect with a supportive community, establish essential skills and find meaningful work. Each participant is paired with a Jobs for Life Champion who provides the spiritual, emotional and relational encouragement needed to succeed in the workforce. Meanwhile, local business and community leaders partner with the Jobs For Life team to connect program graduates to available jobs. This biblically-based program addresses the root causes of unemployment, underemployment, and disengagement by uniting The Church with businesses and community organizations who share a passion for community transformation.
