NewStart is looking for a godly mature woman who would like a nice place to live in exchange for mentoring women seeking to become the same by being the house supervisor for our Pines Program for Women. Please contact me at vikki@newstartcareers.org for more information and click the NewStart in the Pines tab to the left to learn more about this program.

It was with deep regret, we could not keep our center open at this time, but we will

reopen at a new location sometime in 2012!

We know God is at work getting it ready for us.

 

***We get no state, federal or county financial support.***

Donations are our only support.

 

When we get 20 regular supporters (ministry, business or personal) that average $100 per month each, we will be able to reopen our career center to cover all its basic needs. There are no other administrative cost as all workers are volunteers. 

Would you prayerfully consider if you can help us meet this goal?

We currently need 10 more pledged supporters to assure we can cover the expenses before signing a lease. Although we have a tuition, 99.5% of the time, it goes unpaid, but we have NEVER turned anyone away for the lack of ability to pay.


Click our Contest Tab to enter for a chance to win $5,OOO with a one time donation through Birdies For Charities. If you win, NewStart will receive a matching donation from the PGA Tour Players Championship.

 

We want to be reopen as soon as possible.

There are people waiting to get started on their new start.

 Do you think being talented will bring you success?
It takes more! Peter Drucker, the father of modern management said,
"There seems to be little correlation between a man's effectiveness and his intelligence,
his imagination, or his knowledge...Intelligence, imagination and knowledge are essential resources, but only effectiveness converts them into results."
 
Let NewStart with WorkNet Career Center help you
to be more effective and rewarded  in your working career. 

         



 
We have added sober safe housing for women that need a hand up to become self-sufficient. Donations of funds or twin size bedding and towels are always greatly appreciated.  NewStart in the Pines can help up to 6 women at a time toward self-sufficiency. Their stay can be from 2 months up to six months and in special cases even longer or until High School graduation. Along with Career Development, counseling, recovery meetings and faith based training and mentoring, their stay will help them become mentally & spiritually strong in their new working life and for many years to come.

Employment Tip #1
The reason some people never get a call back when trying to obtain answers, results from a potential employer or client that finds it was too hard to understand the name and/or number being left on the answering machine.
