Serve With UpWorks

UpWorks is an LCMS RSO that is supported by the Minnesota South District. They are looking for mature Christians to volunteer to serve their clients. Please consider publishing this newsletter article and/or bulletin announcement.

Newsletter Article:

UpWorks mission is to celebrate and develop each person’s God-given potential to contribute to our world. Partnering with nonprofits, UpWorks receives clients who are motivated to work, but have barrier(s) to long-term employment. UpWorks locates employment options for them, and then assigns them two Life Advocates to support this client through weekly coaching sessions 

Life Advocates are Christians who have been trained by UpWorks in the areas of coaching, working cross culturally, having crucial conversations, and other skills. They volunteer for 1 hour a week for 3 months to provide needed guidance to a client. The goal is to encourage and coach a client to achieve their goals, while shining the Light of Christ into their life.

Do you have a passion for assisting others? UpWorks can provide you with the opportunity to bless others. Please contact UpWorks at info@upworksmn.org or call at 651-756-7851.
