Hey Team, I have in invitation for you -
Do you value advancing racial equity in the workforce? Are you upset by the rollbacks of DEI programs across the country? Does the gross inequality of generational wealth bother you? Do you feel powerless to tackle these rampant and historical American norms? I may have a no-cost opportunity for you to help in the way you've been wanting to.
Cara Collective, where I've been working the past year, does the work of ending both REALATIONAL and FINANCIAL poverty through transformative and sustainable employment. We train job seekers, particularly from historically marginalized communities throughout #Chicago, on the skills they'll need to be successful on the job; help our participants find work that fits their experience, goals, schedule, and financial needs; and provide them with aid from our coaching team, supportive services, and our network of employment and service providers.
Unlike a temp agency, so many of which prioritize the number of job placements above all else, Cara participants don't become alumni until they make it to 1-year on the job. That means our job seekers get access to all of our resources even after they've been placed at a job. I've never worked for an organization this dedicated to social, financial, and racial equity, and I'd love to get more of my network involved in our work and our mission.
If networking, supporting, or getting involved with organizations working to eradicate relational and financial poverty resonates with you, please consider joining us at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago the morning of Wednesday, November 13 for our annual event to honor our distinguished alumni: Tribute to the Stars. This is a great opportunity to see what we're all about AND see our community in action.
Plus there will be bacon. Why would you pass up an opportunity for free bacon? That's just silly.
Meet the true stars at Cara, our alumni! Help us honor the hard work of each of our job seekers by joining us for breakfast at Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago this November 13 for our most anticipated morning motivations of the year: Tribute to the Stars.
