Neighborhood Ministries

Nueva Esperanza provides assistance to unaccompanied children coming over the border by providing the basic needs of food and clothing, safety, education, housing, mental health, and medical services through a day center, home care service providers, and community partners.

Neighbors at Work helps unemployed and under-employed Phoenix-area residents secure and maintain employment. This is accomplished by addressing barriers to employment and providing occupational skills training, educational support services, work readiness classes, internship and job placements, leadership development opportunities, and financial literacy education. Neighbors at Work also helps participants advance into higher wage jobs by providing assistance enrolling in and paying for advanced occupational certificate and degree programs. Finally, because unmet basic needs can easily become barriers to securing and maintaining employment, Neighbors at Work provides disenfranchised participants with financial assistance for emergency food, housing/utilities, transportation, childcare, and work-appropriate clothing. By helping to ensure these basic needs are met, Neighbors at Work empowers program participants to be healthy, motivated, and productive employees. This helps move under-served families out of poverty and into economic self-sufficiency.

Nueva Camino in partnership with the office of refugee resettlement, children coming over the border unaccompanied are received with arms outstretched with love, meeting the basic needs of food and clothing, safety, education, housing, mental health, and medical services through group homes, home care service providers, and community partners. Nuevo Camino program utilizes Arizona licensed foster homes for long-term care for the children.

Education for Life programs offer comprehensive education assistance to over 100 at-risk youth, making a long-term commitment to their growth and development from pre-school to post high school studies. Our goal is to see youth succeed by providing an educational and mentoring support system aimed to decrease deviant behavior such as truancy, drug abuse and gang activity and increase educational aspiration.

Neighborhood Family Services help provide families with basic needs like food and clothing. But we also want to care for each member's emotional and spiritual needs as well. We do this through offering parenting support, counseling services, legal assistance, and other opportunities for families to grow and thrive together.

Neighborhood Spiritual Development programs, as well as our Neighborhood Church, allow people the opportunity to learn about and experience Jesus and His life-transforming hope, love, and power in their lives.
