Creating Financial Stability Through Work

OUR STORY

 

 

South Memphis is a vibrant community full of amazing, resilient people made in God’s image, and it is also a neighborhood plagued by disinvestment, poverty, and high unemployment. Advance Memphis is a place-based, relationship-centric ministry that empowers our neighbors with knowledge and resources to help them reach economic stability.

 

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.”
