Lending Our Social Capital

A lack of social capital has impacted generations of families who have been unable to access employment opportunities. Once underserved and underestimated ready-to-work residents get started on a more stable employment journey, their social capital networks will grow as well, sustaining the power of social capital and boosting employment.

Stepping Stone

Lending Our Social Capital

PCC can help build economic empowerment and stability for low-income individuals. By leveraging social capital under a collective impact model, PCC can be a stepping-stone to long-term job opportunities, a bridge to building social capital for its members, and a means to reduce extreme economic inequality. If PCC can accomplish this, it will change employment practices in general and could help increase the income of more than 15 million people.
