Job Readiness Workshop Coordinator
Conduct a job readiness workshop to help our clients prepare for the process of finding a job.
Assist our clients with everything from resume review to online applications and interview preparations via 1 on 1 interactions. By conducting this workshop, you will be able to positively influence our client's job hunting experience and hopefully, ultimately help them obtain employment in order to ensure their ability to be completely self-sufficient.
This workshop is held every Tuesday from 10 am - 12 pm and Thursday from 2 pm until 4 pm in the Alliance offices. We are looking for motivated, committed individuals with at least an associates degree to run this workshop for at least 1 day/week for at least two months.
This is an amazing opportunity to directly impact the lives of newly resettled refugees and to lend a hand in their search for employment.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Nia Wilson, the Volunteer Coordinator for more information at nwilson@allianceontheweb.org or 713-776-4700.

Mission Statement
The Alliance's mission is to provide comprehensive services to refugees, immigrants and low-income residents of Harris County to help them become self-sufficient and improve their quality of life.
Description
The Alliance is a community-based organization devoted to serving refugees, immigrants and low-income populations in Houston. The Alliance provides comprehensive services to assist clients in becoming economically self-sufficient and improve their quality of life. The Alliance also strives to ensure that newly-arrived Americans are integrated into the main stream community and understand American culture and traditions. Originally founded by Association of Cambodian, Ethiopian, Laotian and Vietnamese refugee community organizations, The Alliance has expanded to serve individuals of all nationalities and backgrounds. Today, The Alliance is one of the largest refugee resettlement agencies in Texas.
The Alliance’s staff members work hard to ensure that clients have the resources to become productive citizens as soon as possible. Through a culturally and linguistically competent approach, The Alliance’s 19 programs assist clients in accessing the following services and community resources: intensive ESL training, health/mental health services, Driver’s Education, vocational training, employment services, job readiness, and asset building. All services are aimed at addressing the barriers that refugees typically face, and strengthen the ability of an individual or family to maintain economic self-sufficiency, family stability and community integration. As a United Way agency, The Alliance is committed to strengthening and improving services that have an impact on the community.
