A large part of our organization's mission is to provide skills training in the areas of painting, plastering, drywall, and landscaping. We are seeking volunteers with extensive experience in these areas, who can help provide guidance on job sites and even lead customized training sessions for our Trainees. We are flexible in terms of scheduling training sessions. Even a few hours getting pointers from a professional would have a major impact in helping advance our Trainees' skill sets.

Mission Statement
Turnaround, Inc's mission is to counteract cyclical poverty, by providing a path to self-reliance through employment and skills training for individuals overcoming significant hiring barriers.
Description
Founded in 2013 Turnaround, Inc. operates at the intersection of workforce development and gainful employment. We provide full-time jobs coupled with skills training in the field of property maintenance. We maintain a focus on Washington, DC's Ward 7, where the unemployment rate is nearly 3 times the national average. All of our Trainees are referred through social services agencies that provide built-in case-management. Our Trainees are overcoming major challenges with re-entry into the workforce after homelessness, long-term unemployment, and following military service. In our first year of operations we created 5 new full-time positions, and our crew performed more than 300 property maintenance assignments. 42% of our crew is formerly homeless, 100% live in designated affordable housing.
