Crafting a Compelling Narrative and Outreach Plan

Re:Force is dedicated to tackling the staffing shortages in the healthcare, education, and social assistance sectors. We target individuals who typically do not see themselves in patient- or student-facing roles. By tapping into previously overlooked talent pools, Re:Force will establish a new paid “service-force” dedicated to filling essential frontline roles alongside their primary role or career, much like a “Reserve Medical Corps” or “National Guard of Educators”. Re:Force works with frontline organizations in partnership with state and local governments to identify crucial roles that are unfilled, require minimal training, and can accommodate flexible schedules (e.g., EMTs). We will bring an entirely new cohort of individuals into service, filling these essential frontline roles. We will target full-time employees, part-time or seasonal employees, and non traditional workers, such as college students, parents, and retirees, positioning Re:Force as a sustainable model to serve while maintaining a primary job or role. Re:Force empowers individuals to succeed and make a difference in patient- or student-facing roles by providing a clear, step-by-step pathway from choosing a service role to securing placement. It addresses barriers such as training costs and helps integrate the service role into the individual’s weekly schedule, coordinating with their primary employer as necessary.
