Job Readiness Training for a Brighter Future
Urban Upstart’s job readiness training program is designed to equip individuals with the essential skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive job market. Recognizing that employment is a key factor in breaking the cycle of poverty, we offer comprehensive training that includes resume writing, interview preparation, and soft skills development. Our experienced trainers work closely with participants to enhance their job search strategies and build confidence. Furthermore, we collaborate with local employers to create pathways to employment, ensuring that our participants not only find jobs but also find fulfilling careers.

Engaging the Community for Lasting Change
Community engagement is at the heart of Urban Upstart’s philosophy. We believe that lasting change comes from collective action and collaboration. Through our community engagement programs, we work to unite individuals, families, and local organizations to address pressing social issues. Our initiatives include workshops, neighborhood clean-up events, and advocacy efforts that encourage active participation and foster a sense of belonging. By bringing people together, we amplify voices that may otherwise go unheard and create a platform for dialogue and understanding. Our goal is to empower community members to take an active role in shaping their environment, thereby cultivating a stronger, more connected Memphis. Together, we can break barriers and build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
