Pawsperity helps impoverished families become self-reliant through job training in the high-demand, high-pay trade of pet grooming. Based in Kansas City, the organization is the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit grooming school in the country.

Pawsperity’s education-based approach not only financially empowers single parents in poverty by equipping them with credentials in a competitive market but also ensures students focus on improving their family’s future through parenting, communication and budgeting classes and life skills courses. Other wraparound services tap partners in the community to provide mental health support, medical services housing, food assistance and case management.
