Founded in 1996 and based in the Twin Cities, The Michelle Project is a 501c3 organization that mentors and supports families with financial need along their journey toward self-sufficiency.Since its inception, The Michelle Project has mentored many local families—the majority led by single mothers who have faced challenges in providing for their families on their own.
I would be willing to go from state to state talking about the importance of starting programs like the Michelle Project. This is a program that enables women to regain their footing toward stable ground. Everybody has needed some support during their lifetime, whether it be financial, informational resources, or just being able to gather with others in quiet retreat. God bless the Michelle Project! said Denise Jefferson, A Michelle Project Graduate
The Michelle Project provides critical support to low-income families working toward self-sufficiency.For these low-income and/or single–parent families who are struggling to find safe, affordable housing, better jobs, and a stable life for themselves, this support can make a big difference.What exactly does Michelle Project sponsorship mean for a family in need? A monthly housing subsidy, an emergency fund in case the car breaks down or utilities bill can’t be paid, a volunteer mentor to be a sounding board and offer encouragement, a professional case manager to help set goals and brainstorm resources for the family’s most urgent needs, support for children’s gifts, simple celebrations and food during the holidays: All of this, and more, comes with Michelle Project sponsorship. Our commitment to these families is for a minimum of 12 months.
What does the Michelle Project mean to me? The better question may be to ask: What is family to me? The Michelle Project is my family. Where else do you receive support, guidance, and love unconditionally? This is a group that comes together from all walks of life, no matter who you are, what you do, where you live, or how many mistakes you have made, you are accepted and valued as a precious gift. There is only humbleness. There is no chastising. Only open hearts listening and providing direction. There is no judgement. There are only constant reminders that each and every member of this family is so loved and cherished. The greatest gifts in life have been given to me by the Michelle Project and I will be forever grateful for being adopted in to this family. A Michelle Project Graduate (Courtney Johnson)
