Uplift Northside is a week long series of free, financial security workshops for the residents of the Near Northside and Northline neighborhoods in Houston, Texas.
Beginning October 9th and ending October 13th, the Greater Northside Workforce Coalition, convened by Young Invincibles and in partnership with Avenue CDC, will put on a series of free, educational workshops on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and job searching.
The Coalition’s vision is that Uplift Northside will act as a “resource tour,” re-introducing residents to longstanding institutions that help young adults complete their educations, gain the training needed to enter in-demand industries, and improve their financial literacy.
The Coalition’s goal is to increase the income and wealth of Greater Northside residents and strengthen the existing programs and partnerships in the neighborhoods.
YI South and the Greater Northside Workforce Coalition invite community members of all ages to attend a workshop during Uplift Northside Week!
