Daily Work

Daily Work's mission is to guide and mentor job seekers who seek to be self-supporting by helping them prepare for, find and maintain work that enables them to support themselves and their families. Many job seekers are able and willing to work, but for a variety of reasons, are unable to successfully secure employment or gain the skills they need on their own. We fill that gap by providing one-to-one, personalized coaching and mentoring to help job seekers address their immediate needs and craft a plan to achieve permanent, living-wage work. Challenges our job seekers face include; limited English language skills, inadequate computer skills, limited access to critical technology such as voicemail and email, poor access to transportation, no formal education or specific skills, and more. Daily Work provides its services from Christ on Capitol Hill in St. Paul and Christ the King Lutheran Church in New Brighton. We are grateful for all the support we receive from all faith communities,

As an organization with deep roots in our community, Daily Work is uniquely positioned to meet the complex employment needs of job seekers with barriers to employment. Our vision is to eliminate economic disparities by helping people increase their income through progressively better work. Research shows that as family income rises, so do outcomes for children, most notably in education completed, annual earnings, and annual work hours (CDF- MN). Entry level jobs are a necessary first step, but true economic mobility will only come with skill development, which takes time. By providing long-term, personalized job coaching, advice and referrals and connecting job seekers with caring interns and community members, Daily Work job seekers are moving up the career ladder and gaining the skills and confidence necessary to advance in the workforce and lead thriving lives.
