Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Employment, Employment Preparation & Procurement, Homeless & Housing, Homeless Centers, Human Services, Job Training
Mission: Job Smart, the only program of Good Hearted People Inc., was founded in 1993 to serve low income and homeless men and women who are actively seeking employment. We provide free quality clothing for interviews and work, accessories, hairstying, makeovers, personal care items, assistance with resumes and interviewing skills, pagers, and lots of support and encouragement. Each client spends about 2 hours with a caring volunteer, selecting outfits, discussing job skills and job openings, and offering support and encouragement. Clients nearly always leave Job Smart with new self-esteem and an "I can do it" attitude. We serve 40-50 clients per month, ranging from young mothers attempting to get off welfare, to battered women, to people who have just graduated from substance abuse recovery programs, to those who have been "downsized" and find themselves without financial resources to compete in the job hunting marketplace. Clients are all referred by various social service and job training agencies.Staff is entirely volunteers.
