Needs
Sparrow Collective is passionate about all women understanding their worth in Christ. In order to support women overcoming difficult circumstances we offer a free program called Sparrow Restore. The aim of Sparrow Restore is to communicate dignity and worth to women through the sharing of food, experiencing the restorative work of art, and learning about their identity in Christ. Sparrow Restore has an emphasis on relational and spiritual support, but some women go on to participate in our Job Training program.
Through the Sparrow Collective ministry initiatives (Sparrow on Main and Sparrow & Co.), Restore Job Training provides skills for women in customer service, general office tasks, event management, retail, and more. In addition, the participants also gain understanding of working on a team, money management, professionalism, problem solving, resume building, and scheduling. After completing the 8 months of Restore Job Training, participants are given the opportunity to apply for open positions at Sparrow or we connect them with our network to apply for other jobs in our community.
Participants in Sparrow Job Training work approximately 10 hours per week and receive $20 per hour. In addition, we provide computers and other necessary tools for them to work at Sparrow. Donations to Sparrow Collective during North Texas Giving Day help support the women participating in the Job Training program.
