Several Salvation Army facilities in the Greater New York Division offer employment programs. In fact, job placement is a key component of all our homeless shelters in helping individuals to break the cycle of homelessness. One of the more successful programs is at our Borden Avenue Veterans Residence. In addition to providing job-skill and job-search training, BAVR has networked with companies to find employment for hundreds of men. Recently, the Department of Homeless Services established a Work Experience Program. Funded by the City of New York, WEP is designed to eradicate welfare dependency by training individuals in situations that will lead to real jobs. The Salvation Army is just one of a handful of agencies chosen to pilot this program. Three hundred participants have been accepted by the Army for WEP. Some Salvation Army corps community centers have conducted job-seeking workshops and participated in job fairs in their local communities. In addition, the Army's Department of Employee Services may be able to locate a position at The Salvation Army. Resumes may be sent to: The Salvation Army, Director of Employee Services To see a complete listing of current job opportunities in The Salvation Army please visit the Eastern Territory's web site under the resources section.
