We have created stipend initiatives to assist our participating members with the opportunity to get back into the working world and rebuild good work ethics. This initiative will help participants earn while they learn, earning income or helping them maximize their income to assist with their transition.

Our stipend initiative is not a hand-out it's a helping hand, giving participants a second chance to regain their independence.

To ensure stability, we have put steps in place for them to follow, to allow them to grow and move to a pace that will not force them to become overwhelmed with change, but allows them to not only move at a pace comfortable for them but also allows them to see their growth throughout the process.

Before a participating member can receive a stipend initiative, they must first participate in a min 30 days - max 90 days of volunteer training, in the stipend initiative of their choice. This process will give them the opportunity to rotate throughout the initiatives and pick what's best for them, allowing them to show consistency.

Participants will receive weekly progress reports and will receive a letter in writing between 30-90 days to fill a position of their choice, to begin receiving a stipend payment.

Participants will be able to use Therapy 4 The Soul as their employment reference. 

They will take the same steps as if they were looking for outside employment. Participating members will apply for the position they are interested in, complete an application, will be contacted for an interview, attend orientation, and be given a work schedule and a stipend payment calendar.

Participants will be required to participate in the stipend program for a minimum of one year, and continue until they find employment.                                                                                           

Once positions opened, they will be posted for participating members only.
