Neighborhood Industries' mission is to operate businesses that reveal value in people, so they can be positive contributors in their homes and neighborhoods. Neighborhood Industries prepares individuals for employment through "Pathways to Employment," a comprehensive workforce development program that provides on the job training and real world work experience. We currently operate two social enterprises, Neighborhood Thrift and Neighborhood Recycling, as "classrooms" for workforce development, operating on the belief that jobs are the vehicle for taking someone from being a recipient to a contributor, and creating long term neighborhood transformation.
