How we help
In order to support neighbors on their path to success, Bluffton Self Help builds a community that opens doors to opportunity through education and training, workforce development and basic needs.
A community of opportunity
BASIC NEEDS
The first step on an individual’s pathway to success is always to help neighbors stretch their budget and meet their basic needs.
Education & Training
These services help neighbors better participate in our communities, obtain a higher level of employment, as well as a higher standard of living.
Career Development
We empower, mentor, and advocate for individuals and families to improve their lives and livelihoods providing one-on-one support to set and achieve individual goals.
Resource
Coordination
Opening doors to opportunity by connecting our neighbors with powerful, life-changing resources. If we do not provide the services to help you succeed we will connect you with a community resource that will.
Get Started Here
Bluffton Self Help is here to help you connect with resources, receive basic needs, food, clothing, financial assistance, earn an education, develop skills, workforce training, land your perfect job or anything in between on your path to success – and we will be here every step of the way.
