In 1969, amidst unrest across the country, a group of concerned citizens and activists mobilized to ensure the people of Sto-Rox were being cared for, represented, and provided with equitable opportunities to thrive.
The Focus on Renewal Sto-Rox Neighborhood Corporation, or FOR for short, was born to unite the community and provide an umbrella organization for much-needed social services in the community. From early childhood education to nutrition, support groups and mental health to arts programs, FOR quickly established itself as a pillar of the community serving neighbors young and old.
Today, Focus on Renewal shares the same commitment as its founders: creating opportunities for Sto-Rox residents to live a better life by providing a range of programs and services delivered with dignity and respect.
FOR’s staff of 30, now stretched across four convenient locations, works toward fostering a healthy body, mind and spirit for everyone in the community. We always have been, and always will be, here FOR you.
Please find all current openings here, along with job descriptions and convenient application forms.
Focus On Renewal’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
We believe that our mission to serve the community is best achieved through a culture where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to fully participate. We are dedicated to cultivating an environment free from discrimination, ensuring equitable opportunities in all our programs, services, and employment activities, and celebrating the diverse backgrounds that make up our team and the community we serve.
