BACKGROUND: Three years since the economic downturn, Nevada’s unemployment remains the highest in the nation in spite of the best efforts of myriad organizations and heroic individuals. After empowering tens of thousands of homeless adults to become engaged and contributing employees and community members, Hero School ’s cadre of local business and community leader-volunteers along with founder, Tiger Todd, have developed a new employment process proven to quickly empower more than 50% of unemployed Nevadan attendees from myriad social strata to find meaningful employment in a matter of weeks. HS Character Change® Initiatives have benefited organizations including CSN, The Shade Tree, SNRHA, and CCSD. SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE (BELOW)
