The JARC provides local residents, business owners, and employers with support in advocating for or against changes to the community that will impact workforce or economic development in the Jerome Avenue corridor, including in the area of financial/banking access and reinvestment. Additionally, our ad-hoc banking committee continues to advocate for bringing more affordable and convenient financial services to the corridor.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS TO COMPLETE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
This component provides local (low-income) residents with access to educational or workforce development training that they would otherwise not be able to afford on their own. Financial support for this component will be raised by the partnership through fundraising and other activities
