Tracy Sherwood, COO at Opportunity Alliance

About this episode

Tracy Sherwood discusses the barriers faced by low to moderate income Nevadans and the initiatives of Opportunity Alliance to promote self-sufficiency.

Tracy Sherwood, Chief Operations Officer for Opportunity Alliance Nevada brings together resources and people from diverse socio-economic backgrounds to investigate and understand the barriers faced by struggling low to moderate income Nevadans and provide pathways to self-sufficiency. They accomplish this through Training, Financial Coaching, Mentorship, Advocacy, Partnerships and Collaborations. The belief that low-wage jobs are primarily filled by teenagers and young adults has long prevailed, but of the quarter of all workers in the United States who make less than $35,000 a year, half are between the ages of 35-64 years old. The economic insecurity for low-wage workers and the middle class threatens the viability of our communities. OpportunityAllianceNV.org Sageintl.com or 800-254-5779
