Volunteer Management Coordinator-TGP AmeriCorps VISTA

The Grooming Project empowers parents with a trade, enabling them to transition off welfare through a living wage. Studies show that lessening the stress created by financial hardship increases the likelihood that their children will achieve success. To do this, we teach our students a marketable and transferable skill set that allows them to earn a living wage and provides the flexibility required to care for their children. Our pilot program teaches animal grooming. According to our research, animal grooming is in high demand in the Kansas City area and the nearest grooming school is 3 hours away.
