Summer Staff Program
Don’t want to
work at the mall this summer? Not looking forward to flipping burgers in
98-degree summer heat? Summer Staff at Hosanna Industries is a great
opportunity to make a difference for the summer. You can be a part of this
great group of high school and college students who want to pursue a
meaningful summer experience.
 The Program
Hosanna Industries’ Summer Staff Program was created to provide youth
with many enriching ideas about society’s poverty problem and about
proactive solutions for the problem by providing housing services to those
in need. The main way Hosanna Industries does this is to provide low-income
households with decent and habitable housing. Hosanna Industries makes this
possible by providing needy families with rehabilitation services for their
homes or providing a homeless family with a new home. In addition, Hosanna
Industries strives to promote community awareness, participation and
improvements to each neighborhood we enter. This is accomplished through
volunteerism, employing youth, local purchases for materials and (if
possible) improvements to homes throughout the neighborhood during a
“Blitz Build.”
It is in the
nation’s best interest to educate youth in social problems by
providing them with solutions and the hope needed to eradicate the effects
of problems such as poverty. Hosanna Industries, while on a small scale, is
setting goals and standards to provide our communities with youth who are
responsible, aware and full of hope.
