Program Associate/ Michelle Chivore (Mchivore@seedco.org) Seedco is a national nonprofit organization that works with local partners to create economic opportunities for disadvantaged job seekers, workers and neighborhood entrepreneurs. It uses practical, effective strategies to address the challenges confronting Americans who are struggling to leave poverty and achieve economic success. Working on these issues for more than two decades, it is a leade in implementing innovative, multi-partner initiatives that foster financial advancement and security. Its work focuses on three critical goals for people seeking economic well-being: Access jobs, basic workplace skills and key benefits such as health or child care; Security and economic stability by helping people stay on the job, build new skills and take steps to become financially secure; and Mobility by providing long-term economic options through higher-level education and training, asset building and career advancement strategies. While much of its work focuses on assisting individuals, Seedco recognizes that addressing poverty requires a broader approach. To that end, it works with a broad spectrum of employers, government agencies and other institutions to improve the quality of jobs and promote the wider availability of critical workplace supports. It also invests in low-income communities in many areas of the country through our subsidiary Seedco Financial to create jobs, support neighborhood entrepreneurs and jumpstart economic opportunity. Seedco partners with the Atlanta Civic Site to implement the Earn Benefits program in NPU-V, connecting residents with a wide array of public and private benefits.
