Vocational Training Update: Skills, Careers & Community

    Vocational Training Meeting

    Our Vocational Program is designed to provide residents with the tools, training, and opportunities they need to develop their skills, gain employment, and make a lasting impact. Through hands-on learning, career guidance, and volunteer experiences, we’re helping individuals take the next step toward independence and success.

    Job Club

    Our Job Club is back and better than ever!

    Participants will engage in pre-employment and post-employment discussions, gaining valuable training to navigate their career paths with confidence.

    Sessions include The ABCs of Employment and Resume Building Workshops to help residents develop essential workplace skills.

    New Resident Employment

    A huge congratulations to Elizabeth, who was recently hired as an After Care Worker!

    Billie’s enthusiasm and dedication are already making a positive impact, and we couldn’t be prouder watching her flourish.

    Volunteering in our vocational training program

    Community Engagement & Service

    Our residents have been actively volunteering with these organizations and through these partnerships, volunteers are making a real difference:

    • Food for the Poor
    • In Jacob’s Shoes
    • Morningdays Community Solutions

    Volunteering with Branches Miami was a powerful moment for both our residents and team. It provided an opportunity to connect with different communities and contribute to a cause larger than ourselves.

    We had the privilege of packing lunches and engaging with volunteers dedicated to supporting underprivileged families.

    These individuals work tirelessly to make sure that families have access to the resources needed for growth, creating a much-needed foundation for their children’s futures.

    Experiencing these moments firsthand is what drives us. It reinforces the power of service—values that align perfectly with our mission at The Foundation. Giving back isn’t just about helping others; it’s about becoming part of a collective effort to build a better tomorrow.

    If you’re interested in volunteering with our residents, represent an employer offering volunteer opportunities or would like to host a Job Club session to share your experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
