The City of Takoma Park is excited to offer this program to residents because working with UpGlo can lead to life-changing individual success stories. UpGlo helps clients move from unemployment or “survival” jobs as rideshare drivers, cashiers, and nannies to careers as Data Scientists, Financial Analysts, and Software Engineers– jobs that can break the intergenerational poverty cycle and enable newcomers to realize their full potential in their newly-adopted home.  

More information on eligibility criteria and Upwardly Global’s Program is available online at www.upwardlyglobal.org.

Volunteers and Employers can also help Upwardly Global’s mission and work in Takoma Park.
