Free Two-Week Program at Indianapolis Urban League Leads to Jobs

There was a time when Amanda Endicott felt like things were hopeless, until she set her eyes on a flier leading her to a free program that would change her life. Now, she's making money and making strides.

Life for Endicott is looking up.

"I have a full time job," Endicott said. "I'm not in transitional housing anymore. I have my own place. I have a driver's license. I have a brand new car."

That is not how things were fifteen months ago. At that time, she had no income, no job, no home, no driver's license, and little hope.

Addiction and a criminal record led Endicott to the transitional house, where, one day, a visitor brought a flyer to share with the women who lived in the home. The words spoke to Endicott.

New Beginnings is a free, two-week work-readiness program preparing job seekers for retaining and securing a job.
