Mission

To provide rehabilitative and developmental opportunities for men, women and children moving out of crisis, addiction or similar recovery situations, or situations of poverty or abuse, in the form of vocational, educational, residential, and community-building initiatives, in order to better equip (both practically and relationally) such individuals to engage life and society with dignity, health and strength.

About

Implementation of career/financial education classes: One of Clerestory's key accomplishments has been the implementation of a long-term strategy of building strategic partnerships to address the lack of sustainable economic opportunity for the materially poor in Birmingham. This occurs initially through the use of work-readiness classes and financial literacy classes, which are the relational 'entry points' for both participants and volunteers. These classes provide an easy 'on-ramp' to relational engagement. Through research and experience Clerestory has learned that it is difficult to help the poor find and walk the 'path out of poverty', or to encourage the wealthy and powerful to engage the problem, unless personal relationships are built. These classes result in the building of such relationships, leading to greatly increased networking, job and other economic opportunity for those fighting to be released from poverty's grip.
