The Lagniappe Center is a non-profit ministry currently housed at Grace Anglican Church in Sheridan, WY. It is a leadership and job-skills development initiative designed to equip low-income parents for living wage employment through a commercial sewing training center facilitated by volunteers. The program includes significant time spent in mentorship and identifying areas to assist in a trainee's long-term stability and employability, such as resume building, financial literacy, cooking & nutrition, parenting, professional individual/family counseling, spiritual formation, etc. This program pays a living wage during training and is a 33-35 hour/wk commitment, with the end goal of obtaining living-wage employment elsewhere.
If you have career goals but are unable to afford the additional training to reach them, this program may be for you.
