If your church or nonprofit…

• Is located in the United States
• Has personal connections with unemployed or underemployed people in your community
• Has buy-in from the leadership at your organization

…then congratulations! Work Life will be a great addition to your ministry. 

If that doesn’t sound like your church or nonprofit, check out other resources from the Chalmers Center that can help you get ready for Work Life.

Work Life Site Certification includes 1 week introductory work and 7 weeks of live Zoom training sessions and assignments on our learning platform.

We recommend existing Work Life facilitators get Site Certification for their church or nonprofit because it:

• Saves you money. Once your church or nonprofit obtains Work Life Site Certification, you’ll be equipped to train new team members yourself, without additional investment in training.
• Offers ongoing support. With Site Certification, you’ll get much more than one-time training. You’ll get dedicated coaching and support from experienced Work Life leaders to help you successfully launch your ministry and overcome obstacles along the way.
• Empowers you with a team. Starting a jobs ministry on your own is nearly impossible. With Site Certification, you’ll start with a team of people from your church or nonprofit who can help you for the long haul.
