WHW is a non-profit organization which provides the unemployed and underemployed the skills and resources they need to get and keep a good job.  Since 1993, WHW has served over 100,000 job seekers referred by over 80 partner agencies at no charge.  Each year hundreds of job seekers participate in programs focused on equipping them to be the most marketable candidate for the job they seek.  Programs include Employment Readiness Workshops, Computer Training, Job Placement Assistance, Employment Retention Support and Professional Apparel.   

With a good, job families can afford safe housing; they can provide healthy meals to their children; they can have access to quality healthcare and teens can stay in school to get a good education, rather than dropping out and going to work to help support their families.  A good job is not the solution to every problem in our society, but a good job is the solution to many of them.  And WHW is proud to be part of that solution.

Our job seekers come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including survivors of domestic violence who are trying to put their lives back together; veterans attempting to transition into civilian life; at-risk youth looking for jobs as a way off the streets… and your neighbors, your brother or your aunt or your child who may be facing unemployment for the very first time.

The return on the investment of those who partner with us is impactful.  With over 2,000 volunteers who contribute more than 25,000 hours of service every year and 100 percent of every dollar donated going directly to making an impact within our programs and services, over 80% of our job seekers obtain a good job within three months which increases their average household income by 318%.
