Puritan Financial Group Continues Volunteer Efforts With H.I.S. BridgeBuilders

July 26, 2012 - PRLog -- July 2012 Addison, TX - Puritan Financial Group announced today that its employees have committed to  donate the use their lunch breaks once a week for six weeks during a training class to mentor at H.I.S. BridgeBuilders.   BridgeBuilders has been serving the city of Dallas for many years to advance urban transformation through Education, Health, Economic and Community Development.

Puritan Financial Group employees find that many of the trainees simply need a friend to encourage them. Many of the mentors are able to share struggles and success stories from their own lives that relate to their mentees. One of Puritan's employees, Craig Wagner, was paired with a man who was in the machine shop training class. Craig said, “He and I both bonded very well in the mentorship program; God had a reason to connect us.” Craig was able to use his experience in the manufacturing industry to pass on wise counsel to his mentee. Now, his mentee has moved up the ranks and was recently given the opportunity to supervise new projects at his company.

Craig’s story is one of many success stories that Puritan employee's have experienced while volunteering with H.I.S. BridgeBuilders. Puritan employee's welcomed this opportunity to serve and Puritan Financial Group is grateful to the employees who volunteer their time. Puritan Financial Group look forward to continuing its partnership with H.I.S. BridgeBuilders to better the city of Dallas.

One of the main ways BridgeBuilders seeks to help transform urban communities is through their employment training classes. BridgeBuilders trains for jobs in hospitality care, logistics, machine shops, construction, and optical labs. In 2011, over 80% of students that graduated from classes at BridgeBuilders received jobs. Much of the students’ success can be attributed to the mentors that meet with them weekly. Mentors help the students by encouraging them in their work as well as sharing lessons they have learned from their own careers.  

H.I.S. BridgeBuilders is a uniting movement across cities to advance urban transformation through Education, Health, Economic and Community Development. BridgeBuilders has been serving the city of Dallas for many years and Puritan Financial is proud to partner with an organization that seeks to glorify God in Dallas.
