8. Eventual Vision
Our hope for the future is to gradually (but
thoroughly) end unemployment. We will do this
by providing said people with a way to present
themselves to potential employers in an
accurate and effective way. This will include
lessons on resume building, job applications,
and cover letters as well as providing business
attire to those in need. A job fair will follow that
will be open to all of those willing to come.

resume to give unemployed the best
chance of getting a job

other programs like Literacy
Action will give us the ability to
help people get their high school

unemployment.
