Fueling The Future
Fueling the Future targets adults in low-income families of elementary-aged children receiving weekend “backpack” food subsidies in Muscatine County and engage them in a six-week intensive “earn while you learn” upskill training.
The program’s ultimate goal is to reduce barriers faced by low income families to enable custodial parents to achieve non-credit post-secondary credentials and high-demand jobs through interconnected stabilization, barrier reduction, education, and workforce efforts.
