Community Forge’s Economic Mobility program supports local individuals and families as they strive for financial independence. This includes crucial resources such as household supplies, legal and systems navigation, and opportunities for skill-building and job training.

Since October 2024, Economic Mobility has been providing resource coordination and support to the community and has greatly expanded since that time.
‍
Our mission is to ignite the potential within every individual we serve by fostering stability and sustainable economic growth. We break down barriers to economic mobility through advocacy, robust support systems and equitable access to resources. By doing this, we are able to transform lives, uplift our community and build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Looking for a stable career but not sure where to start?

Forging Futures is a free job training program at Community Forge that offers hands-on experience with modern equipment, expert instruction, and career coaching to help you find steady work in a growing field.

Since launching in December 2025, we’ve completed three cohorts, most recently Forging Futures: Powered Up with Catalyst Connection, where participants with no prior experience earned industry credentials.

Our upcoming cohort begins in early spring 2027. Forging Futures is free and open to anyone 18 and older, and no experience is required. Every participant receives career coaching and ongoing support so they can step into a skilled career with confidence.
