People Helping People of Utah

Salt Lake City, Utah

Cause Description:
Our Mission People Helping People is dedicated to reducing the number of children living in poverty by teaching low-income women, primarily single mothers, how to earn an adequate income through stable employment that pays a living wage. What we do Our goal at People Helping People is to teach low-income women how they can build better futures for themselves and their children by becoming, and remaining, successfully employed. Approximately 60% of our clients are single mothers and many receive public assistance. Our program impacts over 2,500 individuals annually, including the children of our clients.’ Women seeking our services typically want a better quality of life, but lack the training, confidence and positive work experience necessary to obtain and maintain employment. Our unique employment approach helps low-income women develop the tools, knowledge and self-confidence necessary to compete for better jobs, seek raises and promotions, and become financially self-sufficient. For the last 20 years People Helping People has worked to change the lives of families across the Wasatch Front. In Utah, over 40,000 households live below the poverty level. Single moms make up almost half that number. People Helping People helps families break the cycle of poverty for their children by teaching low-income women how to earn a living wage.
