Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Pawsperity empowers parents to become self-sustaining citizens able to provide for themselves and care for their children through a parenting program, life skills and job training.

  • Pawsperity launched in 2016 as an innovative and multi-faceted program designed to lift families out of poverty through customized social work support and job training in the fast-growing profession of pet grooming. To date, 112 adults have graduated our program and found confidence, stability, and living wage careers as groomers. As students in our full-service employment training program, parents complete 644 hours of training, life skills classes, and 72 hours of soft skills classes covering topics necessary for successful employment. Complementing the program is individualized case management, which allows each participant to set and reach their goals. This "all-in" approach delivers impact that is truly transformational. Students participate in a three-phase service approach-Stability, Job Training, Employment Support-that occurs over approximately seven to nine months. That coursework is followed by the Bridge Program, which provides another 18 months of employment support. Graduates of the program make an average of $43,000, with our highest earner making up to $95,000 in 2022.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
