Job Skills Development Program

Without a home it's difficult to get a job...
Without a job it's difficult to get a home...


Employment is the biggest barrier to breaking the cycle of abuse and homelessness.

An extremely important and highly effective program at The Shade Tree is our Job Development Program. Many of our residents do have jobs, but they often lack the skills necessary to obtain employment at an income level adequate to support themselves and their children. The Job Development Program is designed to assist our residents not only to obtain employment but to develop the skills, attitudes, and abilities necessary to move from lower paying jobs into positions that will provide a self-supporting level of income.

Last year 126 women obtained jobs through
The Shade Tree Job Development Program.
