We’re incredibly grateful for the community partners who help turn ideas into opportunity—and we’re especially excited to introduce The Doorway Project. šŸ’™

Created through a collaboration between an incredible team from the Duke University Code+ program and StepUp Durham, The Doorway Project is a simple, accessible digital bridge to jobs, resources, support, and hope for Durham residents navigating reentry, unemployment, housing instability, or other challenging seasons.

Designed with real-life barriers in mind—from limited technology experience to older smartphones and limited internet access—it helps make opportunity easier to find, right from your phone.

Because sometimes opening the right door can change what comes next.

We’re so grateful to Duke Code+ for helping us build it—and we can’t wait to share more.

Nancy came to StepUp Durham looking for support as she balanced motherhood, school, and her career goals. Through resume building, interview preparation, job search support, and connections to community resources, she gained the skills—and confidence—to keep moving forward.

Today, Nancy has earned her Associate in Science degree and BioWork Certification and is pursuing her bachelor’s degree in Microbiology at North Carolina Central University. šŸŽ“āœØ

Nancy’s story shows what’s possible when opportunity, support, and determination come together.

Labor Day was created to honor the workers whose contributions, determination, and advocacy have helped build our communities and shape our country.

At StepUp Durham, we believe in the dignity of work—and in ensuring everyone has the opportunity, support, and resources to build a career and a more stable future.

Today, we celebrate workers everywhere and the many paths that lead to meaningful employment.

Happy Labor Day from StepUp Durham! šŸ’™

Think you need to check every single box before applying for a job? Think again. šŸ’”

Many employers aren’t looking for someone who meets 100% of the qualifications. They’re also looking for people who are willing to learn, grow, and bring transferable skills to the table.

Don’t count yourself out before you even apply. Your next opportunity might be closer than you think.
