The majority of my time at the Millionair Club Charity was focused on understanding their job placement programs. To give you a brief background, the Millionair Club provides a work referral service for all of its clients. Employers which include homeowners, investment property owners, and businesses around the Seattle metro area contact the club with jobs that need to be filled 3 days prior to the actual date of hire. The Millionair Club then compiles the jobs into a database system and doles them out to members based off of skill set, specific requests by the employers, and through a seniority rotation process.
Jobs are generally awarded to members in the morning between 6-8am and in the afternoon from 12-2pm. Clients are welcomed to a hot meal for breakfast and lunch before they are hired for the day. On average, members are hired between 2 and 4 days a week depending on the season. In the summer, more jobs are available especially since the homeowner employers increase projects during this time. When demand is high, the Millionair Club has placed up to 120 jobs in one day during the summer months.
In order to qualify for jobs through the Millionair Club, clients must become an official member of the club. Unlike their food services program, which is opened to the public, the job placement program is for members only. All club members go through an extensive screening process before given their official Millionair Club Member Card. This is to ensure employers that they will be hiring employees who have had background checks and are prepared to work both physically and mentally.
The Millionair Club advocates strong relationship building between the employer and their employee. Employers are required/suggested to hire their workers for a minimum of 4 hours and pay above the minimum wage salary in Seattle which is at roughly $9.00/hour. Many times, employers are so thrilled with the work ethic of the Millionair Club members that they often pay way above the suggested $9.00/hour. Most club members are fed on the job by their employers and are also given bus passes, called taxis, or picked up by their employers on the day they are hired. Members are encouraged to build strong relationships with their one-time employers in order to create opportunity for them to work for that organization again or be hired part-time!
The creation of employment opportunities is at the root of the Millionair Club’s mission. Instead of solely providing a hot meal and a shelter at night for its clients, this organization works to improve the lives of those struck with homelessness. Many times it takes a middle man to provide opportunities to a population that otherwise would not have access to such opportunity. If you are a Seattle resident or know someone who lives in the metro area of Seattle, please take the time to look at the programs that the Millionair Club provides. Hire a worker for a day, go down and join the clients during one of their meals, or act as a reference for someone else who needs some day labor. Not only will you gain services from this organization, but you will provide someone with a day of honest work and more importantly will meet a great member of the community of Seattle!
