Faith In The Future – Job Club Initiative

Our system can’t easily deal with the emotional and psychological aspects of unemployment, but many in the faith community can and do deal with these factors every day. That’s why we have partnered with willing faith-based and neighborhood organizations to start and manage Job Clubs.
