Wichita Pay It Forward is a community based organization that assists those looking for work in Wichita Kansas to find jobs. It is dedicated to putting Wichitians back to work, one person at a time, one job at a time. This is really a “Jobs Ministry,” which grew out of the efforts of Asbury United Methodist Church to show Christ’s love to the community through it’s “Pay It Forward Project.” When we are able to help someone get a job, they in turn need to help others get a job and “pay forward” the effort that got them a job.
Please Submit Job Openings
There are jobs everyone knows about, but they don’t know who to tell about this opening. We are asking EVERYONE to submit any information on job openings they know about. You may submit them here by clicking on the “Submit a Job” button above and filling out the form or forward them to our coodinator, Kathy Adkins by calling 316-807-8293.
Unemployed
Those of you who are unemployed, may submit your name and the type of job you are seeking, by clicking the “Job Seeker’s Form” button above. Also please submit ANY job openings you hear of. It’s may not be the right job for you, but it may be perfect for someone else. You may see job openings by clicking on the “Jobs Available” link at the left or by visiting our meetup page at http://www.meetup.com/Wichita-Pay-It-Forward/. When you find a job, please do two things. First remember to “Pay It Forward” by doing everything you can to help someone else find a job. Second come back here and share your success story by clicking on the “Submit Success Story” button above. It will help to encourage those still searching and those who have helped to find you work.
Monthly Mettings
Currently Wichita Pay It Forward has suspended monthly in person meetings until further notice. Please check out Transitions Career Ministry - they are a workforce readiness group, supporting the unemployed and underemployed. They meet every Tuesday at Central Christian Church, 2900 North Rock Road
Wichita, KS 67226 - 9:00 am in the choir room.
You may continue to post, job listings, job wanted notices and success stories on this site and we will continue to do what we can behind the scenes to get people back to work.
