Mission

To partner with willing and capable people living in poverty to assist them in advancing to economic self-sufficiency through employment.

What We Do

For over 24 years, Cincinnati Works has been partnering with willing and capable people living in poverty to assist them in advancing to economic self-sufficiency through employment. It began with the dream of founders Dave & Liane Phillips to eliminate poverty in our community. Armed with a fundamental belief in the resiliency of the human spirit, they targeted a population many had written off as hopeless--the chronically un- and under-employed. We bring together individualized, lifetime coaching; ongoing training for job and life success; and employer value-added services for a uniquely successful model. With our focus on job retention and advancement, rather than simply job placement, Cincinnati Works has helped over 9,000 people on their journey to self-sufficiency.
