Connect one-on-one with adults pursuing educational, career, and life goals which aim to create long term stability in their lives.
Sessions may be used to enhance the following skills or further explore the following topics: basic math, grammar/writing, essay composition, cost-benefit analysis, basic computer literacy, Internet research, problem solving, customer service, resumes, interviewing, job applications, goal setting, life discussion/philosophy/ethics, budgeting, study skills, time management, patience, cooperation, GED preparation, and connection to other social service providers.
The way in which these skills are taught can vary - you'll have the opportunity to infuse your passions and creativity! Each Trainee has different needs so the "lesson planning" is half of the fun.
Hands on tutoring in the kitchen is also an option! Trainees are encouraged to learn kitchen vocabulary and kitchen math... if you're skilled or willing to learn with them, we'd love to hear from you!
We ask that each person commit to coming in to tutor once a week (or bi-weekly) for about two hours. Each sessions lasts for 45 minutes and we ask that you connect with at least two Trainees. We're especially looking for someone available on Mondays at 7pm (weekly or bi-weekly).

Mission Statement
Power Inspires Progress (PIP) is the non-profit which operates Venice on Vine and Venice Catering to support our mission of providing positive paid-on-the-job training for one year to adults who have encountered significant barriers on their road to stable employment.
PIP helps Trainees manage their employment barriers in order to pursue and maintain stable employment as well as build their work history.
We aim to create a sense of belonging and teach basic education, life skills, work ethics, culture of the workplace, and personal responsibility. Trainees begin to gain the knowledge and experience needed to build their resumes and confidence. Trainees aim to be successful not only in the restaurant industry but in any workplace.
We Value: Diversity. Education. Community. Collaboration.
Description
PIP is a social enterprise, earning part of our money through the sales of goods and services. Our Trainees share in what we earn. PIP connects employers and work-ready employees.
PIP works in collaboration with many other organizations to help Trainees overcome obstacles to seeking and keeping employment. PIP Trainees pursue educational, personal, career and professional goals during their one year of training.
