Empowering Memphis Together

A partnership between Assisi Foundation and RiseKit aimed at promoting socio-economic mobility through better collaboration and technology.

Connecting Memphis Residents with Employment Opportunities and Support Services

The City of Memphis has a large population of untapped talent, including 250,000 people who are living in poverty across the city. Gathering over 100 community leaders to better understand how we can improve outcomes for this population, the headline consensus was:
Collaboration is such a vital part of the success of a community-driven recruitment approach, but difficult in practice due to the disconnected nature of local workforce systems.
