Momentum

Urban Alliance intentionally works to remove barriers and sees the promise within everyone – even those who face significant barriers to employment such as lack of education, poor employee habits, and criminal records.

This six-week community-based economic development program is designed for unemployed and underemployed individuals. We connect these individuals to sustainable employment opportunities through pre-employment training, life skills training, coaching, and networking.

Momentum goes beyond typical workforce development to address the root causes of early job loss by building capacity and resiliency within the students through essential and life-skills classes. The program also emphasizes pre-employment education, volunteer work experience, mentoring, job placement, and job evaluation with incentives.

Programs like Urban Alliance’s Momentum helps people change their lives for the better.
