NEAR SOUTHSIDE EMPLOYMENT COALITION (NSEC)

MISSION STATEMENT

To equip Job seekers with quality training, connection resources and access to Opportunities necessary to obtain employment, leading to stable lives.

OUR VISION

As a coalition of businesses, service agencies and citizens, our vision is to help eliminate unemployment, empower residents to improve their standard of living, provide comprehensive employment services, and stabilize families and community through long- term employment.

OUR STORY

In 1983, a group of churches from varying denominations, along with several social service agencies, got together to address an underlying problem facing many individuals and families in St. Louis’ south city: unemployment. The groups held the ideal that employment is more than a way of making ends meet.

Employment is the root to healthy pride in one’s self, family, and community. Together, they founded the Near Southside Employment Coalition (NSEC), a non-profit agency dedicated to helping people become self-sufficient through long-term employment.
