Dallas-based #nonprofit that equips underserved individuals with life skills, nutritional services & vocational training
About us
Empowering the Masses was formed in 2018 to address the needs in South Dallas areas with tailored programs to provide life skills, educational training services, and access to healthy food with our drive-up food pantry. Our mission is to change the trajectory of the lives of the individuals we serve through education and life skills training. We envision self-sufficient individuals with self-worth and financial independence to improve their quality of life and life within their South Dallas community. Our programs include Phlebotomy training and certification preparation, Life Skills training, and short-term assistance through a food pantry to serve the food desert in these neighborhoods. With experience in the medical and education areas, our founder saw a need in these under-served areas and formed Empowering the Masses to collaborate with other agencies to further the reach into zip codes with identified needs. Our founder is a person of color who has over 22 years of experience in education and the medical field and created EMT based on her childhood experiences. We help individuals gain self-worth and financial independence so each person may become self-sufficient and improve their quality of life within their community.

If there's anything we love more than training our students with in-demand medical and cultural humility training, it's seeing them soar! It was so great to see Caroline F, a recent graduate and proud Community Health Worker who recently attended an ETM event as a community agent. What a full-circle moment. Her dedication and hard work are truly inspiring as she applies her training to make a difference in our Dallas-area communities! Keep shining, Caroline! 🌟 #CommunityHero #Inspiration #MakingADifference Visit https://lnkd.in/gf_KDMft to learn more about upcoming cohorts, continued education opportunities or how to get involved.
