CleanStart Team Leaders invest in the city's homeless men and women who are participating in the voluntary program called Project CleanStart, where they engage in city-ordered tasks around the city (such as street and park clean-up, landscaping, etc.), in order to learn job skills and increase their chances of obtaining employment. The homeless participants are compensated via gift card; the Team Leaders' job is to ensure all participants are meeting the requirements of the program. Team Leaders accompany a small group (usually five or six) of homeless men and women (all vetted) during their weekly work shifts - four hours a day, two days a week. Team Leaders impart work ethics and coaching during their time with participants. Team Leaders will receive training for this role.

Description
Our History
Jericho Partnership grew out of a 1999 project when several hundred volunteers from urban and suburban Danbury, Conn., congregations began renovating a derelict, burned-out 1800s downtown factory. The result is Jericho House, the home of Cambodian New Life Evangelical Church and several independent Christ-centered ministires for at-risk adults.
As the five-year project progressed, a vision emerged for a Christian charitable organization that would mobilize Christ-centered word-and-deed ministries and congregations into a collaborative serving the city's at-risk communities. Jericho Partnership was formed, providng an ongoing demonstration of living uncompromisingly for the glory of God.
Since then Jericho has become a 501(c)3 cross-cultural organization providing financial, volunteer, facility and staff support to 10 autonomous ministries in Danbury, and collaborates with more than 20 urban and suburban congregations for year-round inner-city ministries and projects.
