MEDA is looking for a Social Enterprise Program Manager
Mission Economic Development Agency has recently launched new social enterprise venture, named Lead Free, which will provide lead dust cleaning services in private homes, public buildings, schools, home childcare centers and other locations. In most cases, these services will take place after some significant renovation or lead remediation work has already taken place in a given building, which may have generated some lead-contaminated dust or paint chips found in window sills, walls and floors. Because of our low hourly rates and lead certifications, we will help painters and general contractors save time and money. We will also help them pass the test conducted by the City of San Francisco’s lead inspectors. Lead Free will be the only company providing lead dust cleaning services in San Francisco.
The project will be implemented over a 3 year period, with financial break-even projected at the end of year 2. At least annually, the Project Manager will assess each worker’s job-readiness and training/supportive services needs. Participants who are determined to be “workforce ready” will be assisted in securing other jobs, and replaced with new trainees.
