The Business Advisory Committee
In 2021, Project Renewal launched a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) to further align our training programs with in-demand opportunities in the social services sector. The BAC convenes social services agencies to systemically address job seeker barriers to entering and advancing within the field. Ten partner organizations regularly convene, including Breaking Ground, Jericho Project, Lantern Community, The Doe Fund, Volunteers of America and Wish Fish.
