Many programs are proactive in their effort to prevent people from veering down the wrong path.  Despite their best efforts, some people still find themselves entangled in a negative set of circumstances.  It is at that vulnerable time that these same programs do very little to assist those who cannot navigate their way out alone. The Hand Up Marketplace stands ready to provide a variety of programs deliberately tailored to educate and empower its participants and guide them back to a successful path in life.
