help change a life.
Clean Team Workforce is an innovative project providing transitional employment for formerly homeless men. We pay “real wages” (higher than PA minimum) while teaching transferable skills.
The goal for each Clean Team Workforce participant is more than just getting a permanent job in the community, it’s to be dependable, hardworking, honest employees for any company.
To fund the Clean Team Workforce we conduct contract work, temp labor, and temp-to-perm projects. Learn more about the types of work we do.
Cleaning Up Provides a Fresh Start
The Clean Team Workforce is a workforce development program, employing graduates of the Allentown Rescue Mission since 2008. Participants are paid above Pennsylvania state minimum wage and perform real work in the community, while learning valuable life skills and workplace values that are essential to success. Clean Team Workforce participants save money in Allentown Rescue Mission supervised custodial accounts. Typically, participants move on to reemployment in a full-time job outside of the Clean Team Workforce. They accumulate enough savings to fund the first and last month’s rent for an apartment in the community – completing the transformation from unemployed, homeless to employed, independent living.
