Since its inception in 2004, Job Resource Development Center (JRDC) has provided job readiness and employment assistance to more than 3,000 youth throughout the Philadelphia area and more than 250 employers, in addition to placing 1,800 in employment. Tough economic times have necessitated that JRDC look at creative, resourceful, and innovative ways to sustain the important work we do; while bridg
ing the gap between retaining discretionary funding and our need for operational funding. To address the needs of the organization JRDC is launching its First Annual Corporate/ Community Capital Campaign Partnership entitled “Work It”. JRDC’s “Work It” campaign is designed to create greater awareness of JRDC while encouraging corporations and individuals to support our youth through giving and helping JRDC put this generation to WORK. We anticipate that this annual campaign partnership will be a major source of funding that will allow our organization to continue to operate and provide services to youth/employers in our region that desperately need youth employment, training, and work-ready employees. We need to raise $250,000 dollars via our corporate/ community partnership campaign to continue offering services in the community so we're asking that you stand with us in support by pressing "Like" on our FB page, following us on Twitter and/or making a donation to the organization.
