JOIN OUR COMMUNITY NETWORK PROGRAM
In keeping with our mission to teach youth skills that allow them to be successful, self-sufficient
and live independently with confidence, our Community Network Program marshals businesses,
individuals and organizations who can help the youth on their journey to adulthood. These
important community partners provide skills and vocational training, educational supports, jobs,
household furnishings, transportation, counseling and other practical resources to Our House youth.
One of our earliest community partners was Blue Cab Company, providing critical transportation to youth for Our House events. Likewise, while we’re not affiliated with any religion, the Vineyard Church of Ann Arbor provided us with space for training and meetings before we had our own space. Zingerman’s Community of Businesses in Ann Arbor also helped with job skills training, including practice interviews, so that Our House youth could learn how to prepare for a job opportunity with proper greetings, how to dress/personal hygiene, body language, and what questions to ask. Upon completion, teens were encourage to apply for job opportunities throughout the Zingerman’s family of businesses.
