Community Allies, Sponsors, Mentors and more!

Helping raise our local communities with long lasting effects

Not every sponsor has to give financially—

sometimes the most powerful contribution is showing up as a Community Ally.

These are the mentors, child-care providers, and community educators who offer day-to-day support, as well as event planners, local service providers, and businesses who step in with practical help. Retailers can provide discounts on essentials, influencers can share stories to broaden exposure, and networking leaders can open doors to new opportunities.

Together, these allies create the wraparound support that helps participants succeed—not just in completing the program, but in building stable, connected lives beyond it. Anyone with time, skills, resources, or a platform to share can become a Community Ally, and every contribution makes the path forward stronger and more sustainable.

Who Can Be a Community Ally?

Community Allies come from all walks of life.

• Mentors & Coaches – offering guidance, encouragement, and professional advice.
• Child-Care Providers – ensuring parents can focus on their training and work without worry.
• Community Educators – providing workshops, tutoring, or specialized learning opportunities.
• Event Planners – helping us host gatherings that build connection and celebrate success.
• Local Businesses & Retailers – offering discounts, in-kind donations, or resources that remove everyday barriers.
• Community Services – providing transportation, housing support, or wellness services.
• Influencers & Storytellers – using platforms to highlight participant journeys and amplify impact.
• Networking Leaders – opening doors by making introductions and creating exposure for new opportunities.

Why Allies Matter

The journey from training to stable employment doesn’t happen in isolation. Every participant faces challenges—whether it’s childcare, transportation, access to technology, or simply needing encouragement on a tough day. Community Allies step in to help bridge those gaps. Together, they create the ecosystem of support that makes it possible for participants not only to complete their program, but to thrive in their careers and contribute back to the community.

How You Can Get Involved

Becoming a Community Ally is flexible and meaningful—you can contribute in the way that best fits your strengths and resources:

• Offer your expertise as a mentor or guest speaker.
• Provide services like childcare, transportation, or meals.
• Extend discounts or in-kind support from your business.
• Volunteer your skills—planning events, designing materials, or providing tech support.
• Share participant stories through your networks or platforms.

Whether your contribution is big or small, it makes a tangible difference. Together, we can create a strong web of support that empowers participants and strengthens the community as a whole.
