Ready to change your life?
Shaping Our Appalachian Region believes a job is more than just clocking in and out. Everyone deserves the American dream of earning a living and providing for their families. And everyone deserves meaningful work that fulfills their innate talents, skills, and desires. For Eastern Kentuckians, steady and meaningful work fulfills an even greater purpose. It means the pride in a job well done and the security of taking care of their families. But more than that, each resident working a competitive-paying job means breaking generational cycles of helplessness and hopelessness and building advantages and opportunities for their children and grandchildren.
