• PROJECT REMOVE THE BARRIER

    Sometimes a practical barrier can stand between a young man and his next opportunity.

    Through the Miami Love Workforce Lab, The Standard Institute can help young men ages 13–21 overcome certain practical barriers connected to employment, education, or training opportunities.

    The young man is taking the step. You can help remove the barrier.

  • NEED SUPPORT?

    Assistance may be available when a practical need is standing between a young man and a qualifying employment, education, or training opportunity.

    Up to $50 toward clothing needed for an interview, new job, or other qualifying opportunity.

    Up to $60 for a haircut connected to an interview, new job, or other qualifying opportunity.

    TRANSPORTATION
    Up to $25 in gas assistance or up to $50 for Lyft transportation, depending on the specific need.

  • SMALL BARRIER. REAL IMPACT.

    An interview outfit. A haircut. A ride to where he needs to be.

    These may seem like small things, but when a young man is working toward an opportunity, they can make the difference between being ready to take the next step and having to let the opportunity pass.

    Project Remove the Barrier exists to help make sure those practical needs do not become unnecessary roadblocks.
