What Job Seekers are Saying

  • Martha A.

    “ As a single mother, the T.E.A.C.H. workshops’ flexibility with hybrid classes and assistance with childcare and other resources were greatly beneficial. This was a great help in both personal and professional growth. I am happy to say that I was able to get a stable career with Evolve after taking the trainings.”

  • Jennifer G.

    ”Evolve’s T.E.A.C.H. program has helped me to find a new career path as a property manager for affordable housing properties. I feel motivated in terms of reciprocity, giving my best effort to serve our community, and also as a professional developing my full potential and economic growth. I’m a living testament to how this program helps to improve people’s lives. ”

  • Ale M.

    “The TEACH program has helped me understand the concepts of housing management. The team helps you by providing support in finding a job and identifying the skills you have.

    What I really admire and thank them for is the time they provide for every single person who has taken the TEACH program. When you finish the program, you are not alone because they continue to provide support and never lose connection with you. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to take this program.”

  • Program Participant

    “As tenants, we can feel intimidated when it comes to maintaining our homes and navigating the housing systems. I learned in T.E.A.C.H. how to confidently face situations that used to intimidate me, advocating for my basic and essential needs in my housing, and now I can teach that to others as well.”

Motivation comes from within and from being in community — and we are here to help you activate your purpose and apply it to your career path.
