From mlksrcollaborative.org/services ↗About this program
We work to build people’s capacity to thrive in the face of adversity and adapt to challenges.
Through digitally delivered curriculum and content, in close collaboration with community partners, we upskill and re-employ people to become economically empowered and support their families while bettering themselves.
We produce a unique set of content for clients within this program and refer them to other Collaborative programs for collective impact and success.
We also offer case management and wrap-around services through this program for direct participants, which serves to remove barriers to client success.
For the thousands of people that the Collaborative serves on an annual basis, we create workforce development content that imparts valuable professional skills.
