A Hand Up Not A Hand Out
A Hand Up Not A Hand Out is a community organization founded by Beatrice Settles-Banks to help disadvantaged individuals develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to become dedicated individuals and productive professionals. We offer life skills training, housing referral, transportation assistance, financial planning & job placement, and/or referral to multiple felony offenders, welfare participants and disabled individuals. This organization is driven by people who want to ensure that disadvantaged citizens receive the opportunity to reconstruct their economic status by rejoining the working class.
We believe that a person – any person - can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon. All they need is access to the fundamental resources to make those dreams realities. A Hand Up Not A Hand Out requires the individuals to make a commitment to better their status by furthering their education, skills, and career. We do this by only pursuing and securing employment for these individuals in industries they have foreseen or can foresee a future in.
