St. Joseph the Worker's primary focus is helping people to help themselves. We provide people with the tools necessary to conduct successful job searches and support them in their efforts to better their lives.
St. Joseph the Worker concluded its fiscal year and is proud to report:
- 220 homeless and low-income individuals were assisted in securing full-time, sustainable employment.
- $9.50 an hour was the average starting pay rate for these individuals.
- 46% of the jobs secured offered benefits
- 656 individuals received comprehensive assistance, including one-on-one job-search assistance, job-readiness resources and referrals, as well as encouragement and support to pursue a self-sufficient lifestyle.
- Additionally, 573 incarcerated individuals were taught job-search strategies and job-readiness to help them avoid homelessness or re-incarceration after their release.
St. Joseph the Worker is a small, privately funded 501(c)(3), non-profit organization located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, Arizona that has been operating since 1988.
