Pathways to Promising Employment

Poverty and employment used to be considered mutually exclusive. Today, however, many Central Indiana residents live in or on the verge of poverty despite being employed, and others struggle to attain employment. It’s a problem too big for individual agencies, congregations, or nonprofits to tackle alone. To find pathways to promising employment, our entire community must work together.

The 2023 Faith & Action Spring Conference will convene subject matter experts, organization leaders, and like-minded community members to help to make that happen. Anchored by keynote speaker Rabbi Sharon Brous, the day will include conversations about work and poverty, the sharing of best practices, and testimonies from community members about their journey to promising employment and stability.

Attendees will hear and discover:

• Best practices on how to respond when neighbors can’t provide for their families, even if they’re working

• Effective approaches to empower young adults who have never had hard work modeled for them

• Solutions to support and equip adults on their journey to promising employment

• Examples of programs that are successfully preparing individuals for jobs

• Ways individuals, faith communities, and organizations can play a meaningful role in breaking the cycle of poverty
