RBC’s Future Launch funding is creating more opportunities for us to change lives in our communities! With RBC’s support, we’ve been able to maximize our impact through our outreach team and have made significant strides meeting jobseekers where they are present in the community.
Meet Jenna Nieman, Goodwill Amity’s Outreach Coordinator. Working with fellow organizations, attending community events, and sitting as a member of various committees and councils, Jenna connects and engages with community members who are experiencing barriers to employment.
Meeting jobseekers, specifically youth, where they are in the community has had a significant impact. “People are always receptive to resources, and I think they are happy to see those resources in spaces that they use or frequent,” says Jenna. “The work is important because we are reaching people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to these services, who wouldn’t have the information, and maybe wouldn’t have the confidence to reach out to us.”
Thank you to RBC for investing in our communities and helping us change lives and strengthen communities through the power of work!
