Join us for an insightful conversation between Cheryl P. Johnson (COTS CEO) and Kim Janey (EMPath President and CEO), moderated by Nikki Carbonari (COTS Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships), as they discuss their shared vision for breaking the cycle of poverty for generations and creating meaningful impact. They talk about the power of narratives and preconceived notions, exploring how these elements shape the foundation of their work.

They also share what the journey to certification in Mobility Mentoring® looks like. COTS is thrilled to be the 1st organization certified in Mobility Mentoring®, a research-backed economic mobility coaching approach developed by Economic Mobility Pathways - EMPath!

Mobility Mentoring® empowers low-income families by offering a participant-centered, holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally competent approach to help individuals achieve their goals, from education and career advancement to financial stability and well-being.

This certification is a game-changer in scaling COTS's Passport to Self-Sufficiency™️ model in Detroit. With this certification, COTS is better equipped to support families in their economic journey, strengthen financial decision-making, and gain priority access to EMPath's tools and funding opportunities for research and program expansion.

Discover both organizations' long-term goals for empowering families and communities experiencing poverty and homelessness. This conversation sheds light on the journey of organizations like ⁠COTS⁠ and ⁠EMPath⁠, working collaboratively to transform lives and inspire change.
