The Value of Community.
At PEOPLE, we empower and employ people with lived and living experience to step into new roles for themselves. In helping them do that, we improve their lives and the community. By valuing and de-stigmatizing individuals, we can make a meaningful and lasting difference in the community in which we all live and work.
How We Help.
PEOPLE Lived Experience Society is a collaborative effort bridging this gap by recognizing the value of lived experience and peer support and the value of community in achieving social change. We employ, train, and support people with lived experience to work on the ground in front-line roles helping others currently experiencing those challenges to find the resources they need that are available in the community.
PEOPLE Lived Experience Society uses traditional, non-traditional, and indigenous mentorship programs to help people heal, to help people learn new skills, and to set people up for success in the workplace and in their personal lives.
We connect with local employers, local resources, the municipality, and our group of trained employees to build these new bridges of success and knock down barriers and stigmas. People and human connections are the driving force behind making real and lasting differences.
