There is Hope
The Joseph Project 863 is a volunteer community program providing assistance and guidance to low income workers, unemployed individuals and newly graduating high school students striving to tool and or retool their careers to meet the demands of the new technically advanced workplace.
Many of citizens currently are ineligible for services through the traditional social service avenues. Our project will provide a hand-up via training scholarships and supportive services to those who could not participate otherwise.
Partnering
We have cultivated strategic partners with local and regional employers, colleges, trade schools and social service agencies in Hendry, Glades and western Palm Beach counties to build a network that will allow us to accomplish three significant things to build a reliable and sustainable workforce that will meet our current and future needs.
- We work with local employers to assess the current and future needs.
- We work with schools and employers to create programs that will benefit both current and future needs of the regions workforce.
- Ensure that the curriculum is industry driven thus closing the skills gap from school to the workplace. These partnerships will be the foundation of our service to this community.
All Grant Funding secured by JP 863 Inc will be the "hand-up" - or opportunity- for those that are not eligible for assistance through our partners at Career Source SWFL due to the many eligibility requirements tied to the funding.

Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage and support our citizens who have been so greatly affected by the pandemic and automation of local industry which cost so many their jobs and livelihood. Our goal is to open opportunities for citizens who have a desire to retool their careers to be more applicable for the job market of today, by supplying funding for ambitious residents to attend trade schools that will meet the needs of local industry.
We understand that the era of the general laborer is quickly fading and the Joseph Project 863 - Jobs Project will help retool our citizens to meet the needs of our business community today and into the future.
Our Mark of Success
Our mark of success is to supply our community with skilled trades’ persons ready to address the needs of our local employers, assisting our citizens from government assistance to financial freedom, and to introduce a new generation to the limitless opportunities of the skilled trades.
Tutoring
Our after school tutoring program helps out kids ages 8-12 to reach their full potential. We have a dedicated staff that works hands on with our students, giving them the attention and encouragement they need to reach their goals. Our high school students earn their volunteer hours for the Bright Futures Scholarship Program through their volunteer service in our program.
Find and Restore
With our find and restore program we work with individuals who are homeless and have a desire to change their lives for the better.
We are told to go out and compel them to come. Many of the people we meet on the street deep forgotten or the unseen. We let them know that we see them and we care about their well being, and if they have a desire to rebuild their lives we will walk with them and assist in every way possible to ensure they get the hand up that they need.
This program allows us to provide find people looking for change, provide them food, clothing and sign them up for any social program available to them.
We also will do resumes to assist them with getting employment. The need is evident and we use every tool available to us to restore individuals who may have thought they were forgotten
