The mission of Advance Memphis is to empower adults in South Memphis to break the cycles of unemployment, establish economic stability, reconcile relationships, and restore dignity through knowledge, resources, and skills by the power of Jesus Christ. The Work Life program is at the heart of their services and begins with teachers giving students a vision of their own value as workers with unique skill sets. Other “stepping-stone” programs provided by Advance Memphis further move students toward economic stability. These include a matched-savings program, classes in financial literacy, an addiction recovery class, and more.
