St. Joseph the Worker has opened its new office at 382 E. Palm Lane in Phoenix.
The new office, operational since May 6, replaces the 19th Avenue and Bethany Home Road office and incorporates the operations team from the Keys for Change Human Services campus, according to a press release.
“We are thrilled to open our new office at 382 E. Palm Lane, which will provide even greater accessibility to our clients,” said Carrie Masters, CEO of St. Joseph the Worker. “Already, over 600 clients have been served at this new site, demonstrating the immediate positive impact of this location on our community.”
With this new office, SJW continues to serve clients from two locations:
- East Valley, 1833 W. Main Street #128, Mesa, AZ 85201
- Central Phoenix, 382 E. Palm Lane #150, Phoenix, AZ 85004
Founded in 1988, SJW is dedicated to breaking down barriers to employment and providing job seekers with the necessary tools and support to achieve long-term success. More than just a conventional job search service, SJW goes beyond offering job leads and resume assistance.
SJW connects individuals to roles that align their interests and skills with the culture of local businesses. To further support job seekers, it provides transportation, interview preparation and attire when needed. Once employment is secured, SJW continues to offer assistance with transportation, uniforms and work shoes to ensure clients are ready to succeed.
Additionally, SJW helps individuals obtain any necessary tools, certifications or training required for their roles. The organization’s mission is to foster beneficial relationships among clients, companies and the community by offering a comprehensive pathway to self-sufficiency.
In addition, the nonprofit offers its unparalleled 90-day Workforce Villages’ transitional housing program for full-time workers who find it difficult to save 70-80% of their post-tax income for move-in deposits and a savings fund. Participants in this program are required to attend life skills classes that provide essential education to help them thrive in their new apartments.
