The Allentown Rescue Mission’s Clean Team Workforce December Employee of the Month
(ALLENTOWN, PA) – The Allentown Rescue Mission’s Clean Team Workforce congratulates its Employee
of the Month for December, John S.
John came to the Allentown Rescue Mission after he developed medical problems. He worked as a
traffic controller until he began having seizures. As a result of the seizures, John lost the privilege of
driving and then lost his job. Unable to pay his rent and support his family, John entered the Mission
with the hope of finding a new path for himself and his family.
John graduated from the eight-week Transformation Program in December 2023, and has been working
for the Clean Team Workforce since then. He has performed different types of work, including estate
cleanouts and, most recently, windowpane installation. John enjoys the hard work and the comradery
he has developed with his coworkers, making him an important part of the team.
With time to reflect on how to help his family and with the guidance from Mission staff, John has
decided to enroll in forklift training through the Mission’s scholarship program. He worked in a
warehouse driving a forklift in the past but realized that he would have more opportunities with a
forklift certification.
John is hoping to reunite with his family in Stroudsburg, but knows he needs to find secure, long-term
employment first. He is currently saving money working for the Clean Team Workforce during the day
and is taking forklift classes in the evening.
About the Clean Team Workforce: The Clean Team Workforce is a workforce development program
that is available to men who graduate from the Allentown Rescue Mission’s eight-week Transformation
Program. Participants are paid above Pennsylvania state minimum wage and perform real work in the
community while learning valuable life skills and workplace values. By the time men leave the Clean
Team Workforce, they’ve typically saved enough money for an apartment, secured permanent
employment and have been restored as productive members of the community.
