Jobs Partnership

Across Florida 46% of households struggle to afford the basic necessities of housing, childcare, food, healthcare, and transportation. In Orange County It’s actually 47%—almost half of all households.

LifeWorks by Jobs Partnership is an intensive, free training and development solution for people who are under- or unemployed. Participants are equipped with both life and work skills that employers are looking for. If you’re seeking a better career path, learn about this unique program.

Much more than an employability class, LifeWorks is like career boot camp—with a team of friendly Coaches. It’s based on the belief that all people are created and designed by God with particular strengths and abilities for success in work and life. And the key to that success is when others show you the way–a different, better way. For example, do you think you need a college degree to get into a good career? During LifeWorks training you’ll learn about specialized training you didn’t know existed, for some of the hottest, most in-demand career fields. You’ll get connected to people and resources that can help you discover where you could thrive, to get you on the right path. The Way Up is different than you think–and LifeWorks is the first step.

House of Hope Orlando

Welcome to House of Hope Orlando! After teaching 25 years in the public school system and at a state-operated detention center, Founder and President, Sara Trollinger, started House of Hope, a residential program, in 1985 as a safe haven for hurting teens. Having witnessed firsthand the revolving doors for teenagers in the social service system, where they would come and go, repeating negative behaviors time and again, she saw the need for these troubled teens to understand the life-changing principles based on God’s Word. As a non-denominational, not-for-profit, Christ-centered residential program, House of Hope offers hurting teens, ages 13-17, a place to find hope and healing in a loving, supportive environment and be reconciled to their families.
