This document discusses an employment program called People Helping People (PHP) that aims to reduce child poverty by helping low-income women, especially single mothers, gain successful long-term employment. PHP provides training to help women develop skills, confidence, and work experience to obtain and keep better jobs. For over 20 years, PHP has served women across northern Utah through education programs, mentorship, and community partnerships. PHP volunteers donate over 4,800 hours annually and play an essential role in coaching and training program participants.

2. OUR MISSION
We are a successful employment program dedicated to
reducing the number of children living in poverty by helping
low-income women, primarily single moms, build better
futures for themselves and their children through long-term
successful employment!

3. Our Purpose
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.

Volunteers

7. Through volunteering with PHP, I see women getting the
knowledge base and the chances that they wouldn’t have
had, had they not learned about this program. I love
knowing that my involvement with PHP is not just helping
women become employed or better employed—but we
are also leading by example for the next generation.
