6. Mission
Our goal is to provide the homeless an
opportunity to better themselves and the
community permanently. After going through
our program, our goal is for them to leave
with the proper job skills to carry with them in
the working world.
7. Vision
We strive to provide 30 homeless people each
semester with a temporary job at the
university, and then send them off into the
working world prepared to be able to keep a
job and be successful in life.
If our initial project works at Texas, we hope
to use this same program and implement it
into several other universities in the United
States.

the homeless will clean the surrounding area
in the University until the semester is over.

Work with Recycle Bank to make sure they
collect all the recyclables and pay the
homeless the proper amount.
