Interested in knowing exactly what our volunteers do at the Center?

Here’s a glimpse:

1. They Are the Heart: Our volunteers are the driving force behind our mission. They not only teach classes for youth and adults, they also serve as mentors, conduct mock interviews, assist with resume writing, introduce career opportunities from community business leaders, and teach vital skills like finance, affordable housing, and computer proficiency. Others are behind the scenes planning our graduations, fundraisers, and future scope of our outreach, all being our ambassadors to the wider community.
2. The Power of Prayer: We have not one, but two Prayer Teams! "In Our Hearts" prays for students' confidential requests, providing them with emotional support. The “FTC Prayer Chain” prays for our organization's needs and staff. Since we are a faith-based organization, prayer forms the foundation of our work, guiding us in every step we take.
3. Transforming Lives: Our primary goal is to help students discover their self-worth and the value of every day working in any profession they choose. The center wants to raise up workers who will embrace the routine of creating a career one day at a time. Our Jobs for Life adult and Powered for Life youth classes work wonders in just a few weeks, guiding students toward the best path for their lives. The FTC graduations are a heartwarming testament to the transformations we witness.
