After ten years of doing workforce development programming, we ran into a problem. We were graduating more adults prepared for work and it was exceeding our ability to place people into networked jobs. Others were finding work but were struggling to find living-wage employment. These tensions led to further study and discussions on how we might address these roadblocks. These discussions led to the formation of Neighbor Enterprises: social enterprises with the goal of making living-wage employment accessible to people in our community.
The Mission: to help our neighbors thrive and reach their fullest potential.
We do this by creating pathways to living-wage employment. We make living-wage employment accessible for people in our community.
The Vision: to create community-based businesses at Neighbor to Neighbor.
Our hope is that our economic ecosystem will create employment stability and our employee support services will help people to overcome barriers to employment permanently.
