StepUp Durham partners with adults seeking to transform their lives through employment and life skills training. Blacknall has an opportunity support StepUp’s upcoming training for their “Step2” cohort. Step2 is for adults working at least 25 hours per week who would like to increase their network, community connections, career possibilities, and financial capacity. There are two ways to serve: Become a “Co-Partner” and/or provide meals for the meeting. Each Tuesday, they meet at ReCity (112 Broadway Street) in Durham from 6-8 p.m. The session runs July 25 - September 12.

Co-Partners: As a Step2 Co-Partner, your main activity will be building supportive relationships with participants and other Co-Partners at weekly Step2 meetings. See attached job description for details. We have about 25 participants signed up and would like to have a Co-Partner for every one of the participants. Please contact Jay at jay@stepupdurham.org if you are interested.

Food: Step2 evenings include a meal. We are feeding around 60 people and would love meal contributions making up part of or an entire meal. Dinners are not extravagant: vegetarian chili, for example, is crowd-pleaser. August 29 is covered but the rest of the Tuesdays are open. Contact Jay at jay@stepupdurham.org for more info.
