StepUp Ministry Alumni: Stability and Sustainability
The first step in the StepUp Ministry process is employment. The second step is life-sustainability training. The last, but certainly not final, step is stability. Participants come to StepUp looking to overcome barriers to finding employment. Once employed, they are eligible to apply for a year-long life skills class, where they are taught valuable skills such as; budgeting, goal-setting, and personal/relational development. The last step is StepUp’s Alumni Program, which offers ongoing, weekly training for graduates of the life skills class.The alumni classes are designed to impart to graduates both “hard and soft skills” to advance their careers, develop their networks, and achieve their goals. Life Coaches are available to graduates to provide accountability partners.The Alumni Program curriculum includes: Communication, Business Skills, Personal Development, Entrepreneurship, plus intensive workshops offering in Public Speaking and Life Coaching.The alumni program is a “peer-to-peer” learning and networking community offering professional training opportunities to StepUp graduates, volunteers, instructors, board members, and staff.A number of StepUp alumni have successfully started their own businesses. Here are some of StepUp’s entrepreneurs.
