JOIN THE CALL!
Since March 2022, we have served over 100 survivors of intimate partner abuse through our job-readiness and self-sufficiency classes. Our custom curriculum helps participants rediscover their skills and talents, create a budget, craft a visually appealing resume and cover letter, navigate job search platforms, and use Google Workspace. Survivors progress through the program as a cohort so they can build a community of support—and we pay them $20 per hour for their time to help them on their journey to achieve financial independence.
By listening to feedback from the folks we serve, we have learned over the past few years that there is nothing like our programming and that survivors want and need sustainable post-crisis solutions. We have seen exponential growth in the number of survivors we are serving and the number of referrals we receive from community partners. As the cost of living continues to rise across the country, we are being called to make this work available to even more survivors.
In the new year, we will answer this call by shifting our focus and reimagining the model for our programs so that we can reach more survivors through expanded partnerships. We will continue to provide trauma-informed, survivor-centered job readiness training while growing our programming to be accessible to organizations across the country. With creativity, innovative thinking, and community support, we know we can amplify our impact. We invite you to join the call and help us bring this vision to life.
WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING?
• Undestructable has processed over 100 referrals so far in 2024. That is nearly 4x more than 2023!
• We ave served 66 individuals so far this year - twice as many as 2023 - with at least 18 more in upcoming classes before the end of the year!
• We have distributed over $10,000 directly into the hands of survivors who are participating in our classes!
• In 2024, we introduced a Computer Basics class for folks who could use a refresher course to best prepare them for our Job Readiness class. Additionally, we have created a condensed version of our Job Readiness class in an effort to serve more survivors annually and get them placed in jobs sooner!
• 100% of our participants say that the money they made in class helped them keep their heads above water.
