Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Every Good Gift

We offer part-time jobs to young single mothers. Barriers to work are removed by providing free on-site child care, working at a location accessible by public transit, and having no educational or work experience requirements. The women are taught to make our products - gift baskets, sewn items, wall art, and more. Through informal mentoring by staff and trained volunteers, job expectations, and weekly workshops we focus on basic soft skills - dependabilitly, punctuality, attention to detail, and communication. Developing these skills is essential for success in the workforce and in educational programs. Weekly Bible Studies are optional. Practical help such as diapers and wipes are available and referrals are made for other needs. When women "graduate" from EGG they are prepared for jobs that will allow them to lessen their reliance on government assistance and meet their goals.

Population(s) Served
Young adults
Infants and toddlers

Each week the Director gives the women a verse to help and encourage them during the week. During the pandemic this expanded to emails that included information about services and resources and job opportunities. When the women informed the Director that they do not check their email, preferring communication by text, she began sending them by text each week. It is clear that the women check their texts because some reply expressing their gratitude.

Equity strategies

Last updated: 03/08/2022

GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
