Jobs for Life is Growing
When we launched the Jobs for Life program in May of 2013, we had no idea the profound life changing impact it would have on both the students and the Champions (mentors). We have now completed 9 classes and are beginning to see a significant impact on our community.
Jobs for Life Students – 84
Jobs for Life Grads – 48
Jobs for Life Grads still living in the area – 38
Jobs for Life Grads currently employed – 25
Jobs for Life Grads that have moved
from a motel to apartment – 10
These graduate students have now become employees, taxpayers, and customers in our community.

Each year, the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce highlights one local small business and one non-profit organization at the Small Business and Charity of the Year Awards Dinner based on nominations from Chamber members.
