Creating Financial Stability Through Work
OUR STORY
Historically South Memphis has been plagued by generational poverty and high unemployment. While the generational poverty and lack of opportunity is staggering, South Memphis is a vibrant community full of resilient Memphians, made in the image of God, with unique skills and talents. Advance Memphis works with the community to support economic revitalization through Biblically-based programs that bring HOPE, KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES, and SKILLS.
Sharing Our Heart for Emotional Health on Channel 5
On Action News 5, our Executive Director Steve Nash shared why emotional health is a core piece of our job readiness work.
"When you're working in one of our warehouses and you get triggered, you leave. Well, then you have a short paycheck (and) are not at work the next day. ... We'd love to see South Memphis become a trauma-informed community.”
