Economic Mobility - John T. Vucurevich Foundation Our working families deserve stable, hiqh-quality jobs. Economic mobility is the road they take to get there.
Some people have a smooth highway ahead of them, with easy access to good jobs and education. Others have to navigate off-road paths, filled with obstacles and challenges. Many of our families take the road less traveled.
Our grant funding helps individuals stay on the highway to success. We fund programs that help our neighbors build skills or get the education they need for the job they want. Because no two roads are the same, we invest in programs that provide mentorship and short-term assistance to address other barriers that arise like child care or housing.
Many of our economic mobility grantees collaborate closely with other community partners to wrap around a family with the resources and referrals they need to get ahead. Invest in programs that provide supportive relationships and structures for working families seeking economic stability These programs include intensive mentorship supports for low-income families.
Provide scholarship opportunities for low-income families to attain skills, certifications, or degrees required to attain workplace advancement These insitutional scholarships are distributed by Black Hills State Univeristy, Oglala Lakota College, South Dakota State University, and Western Dakota Tech.
