Your donation helps Perry Street Empowerment connect workers, contractors, developers, and municipalities through training, tools, certifications, and workforce infrastructure that creates real opportunity in Pontiac.
Support the Systems That Connect People to Real Opportunity
Perry Street Empowerment is building a centralized system that helps local workers enter the skilled trades, helps contractors gain visibility, and helps developers and municipalities connect with qualified local talent.
