Keys to Change

Looking for ways to get involved at Key Campus? 🥰 We have an ongoing need for volunteer support in our mail room! 📬 📨 Mondays through Saturdays and flexible shifts are available! We can work with your schedule! Volunteer duties include sorting and filing mail, delivering mail to Campus partners, and assisting our Clients at the service window. With our post office services we provide a physical mailing address for our Clients to receive correspondence and qualify for opportunities they otherwise would not have access to. Connect our unhoused neighbors to their loved ones, to their benefits, to their packages and parcels! 🥰 Last year, an astounding 84,000 parcels were distributed to over 6,000 housing insecure neighbors. 👏👏👏 This volunteer position is ideal for individuals who can commit to 1-2 shifts weekly during business hours. Students, retirees, and evening shift workers, apply today! https://lnkd.in/ggZ5Zj9S #EndHomelessness #BeLikeMike #Community #Compassion #Leadership #Volunteer #VolunteerOpportunities #VolunteerAppreciation #Volunteerism #GiveBack #GreaterGood #CollaborationIsKey🔑

Today is Arizona's voter registration deadline. In August, the League of Women Voters visited the Campus to register clients to vote, update their registration, and educate on voting rights restoration. We encourage our clients to get involved in the voting process, which includes dispelling common myths and breaking down harmful misinformation. We want people to make their voices heard and cast a vote for the leaders and policies that make a difference in their lives. Your vote is your voice. Exercise your right to vote. Let your voice be heard. 🗳 https://lnkd.in/g-MYaJ7M #EndHomelessness #AffordableHousing #HousingFirst #RepresentationMatters #YourVoteMatters #YourVoiceMatters #ParticipateInDemocracy #Community #Vote #Vote2024

Are you employed full-time but facing housing insecurity? Our Workforce Villages program offers transitional housing support to help you avoid homelessness before emergency shelter is needed. During the 90-day program, clients save 70-80% of their net income in their own bank account while attending life skills classes, such as: - Personal Finance 101 - Meal Budgeting & Planning - Professional Success Skills This program is open to anyone with full-time employment, not just SJW clients. Visit https:/https://lnkd.in/gBBnvNVH to learn how we’re committed to empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty and housing insecurity. https://lnkd.in/gBBnvNVH #StJosephTheWorker #HousingSolutions #PhoenixHousing #EmploymentServices #TransformingLives

It CONTINUES to happen at STN! 📺👀 Get excited for the next episode of the McQuaid Mission on IT HAPPENS AT STN, featuring the brand new CEO of Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), Nate Smith. 🥳 We like him already -- and not just because he can riff on a Richard Crews, Director of Programs, Keys to Change metaphor without skipping a beat! Nate is a visionary leader with the experience and passion to usher CASS into this next season, which we know will be a tough one for our entire community -- read why here: https://lnkd.in/gic--xR3 So about that metaphor… In last month’s episode, Richard Crews likened solving homelessness to a jigsaw puzzle. Now more than ever, we need to click together like pieces of a puzzle 🧩 like a lock and key 🔐 We must collaborate on solutions like we were MADE to fit together. Aligned in vision, building the same big picture. Do you want to solve homelessness, but you’re not sure where to start? Tune in next week for this episode. Spoiler alert: there’s a puzzle piece in your hand. 🥰 #EndHomelessness #Community #CommunityActionWorks #ItHappensAtSTN #WhatsYourPuzzlePiece #CollaborationIsKey🔑

Congrats to our Arizona Diamondbacks on a wonderful and hard-fought regular season! They're the real MVPs of community support - raising $200,000 for Keys to Change for our work in homeless solutions in their hometown. Talk about swinging for the fences! 💛👏👏👏👏 To celebrate, they invited us to last week's game against the Padres. When Diamondbacks play, the community wins. Cheers to a great season - we'll see you in the spring! #DBacksGiveBack #DBacks #ArizonaDiamondbacks #LosSerpientes #Community #CommunityAction #GreaterGood #EndHomelessness #Leadership

"Each summer we say, 'this must be as bad as it can get.' And every year, the heat is more extreme, and more persistent," says Keys to Change CEO, Amy Schwabenlender. "There's a real sense of urgency on the front lines because the effects can be very unhealthy. We can't let our guard down. The heat is still deadly, and affordable housing is still scarce. While community support has been incredible all summer, this may be our most critical ask."

New BLOG from Keys to Change CEO, Amy Schwabenlender, is up! 💻 👀 "I’m not writing this in search of any sympathy, apology, or as a crisis fundraising tactic. I am writing this because it’s what is happening right now, on the front lines. And it’s not only happening at Keys to Change. It is happening on various timelines across organizations and across many different program and service areas...." https://lnkd.in/gic--xR3 Comment, share, brainstorm.
