Social Enterprise
Social Enterprise:
A business with a purpose that serves the greater good. It reinvests its revenue into supporting the achievement of its purpose.
John 3:16 Mission currently has three social enterprises, which provide work experience for recovery students, giving them training on how to sustain a full work life once they graduate from our program.
But the benefit doesn’t end there! These initiatives provide an income stream for John 3:16 Mission as well. All revenue goes back into our other programs and makes the Mission even more financially sustainable.
As John 3:16 Mission plans for our future, we see social enterprise as a key part of our mission to prevent homelessness, provide work experience for under-resourced neighbors, and increase our own financial sustainability.
