General Community Supporter – Email/Phone Call Template

I’m reaching out in support of the Keystone Job Corps campus and in opposition to the President’s fiscal year 2026 budget proposal to eliminate Job Corps and the recent halt on required background checks for prospective students that has left over 12,000 young men and women in limbo and their careers on hold.

I respectfully request that you reach out to the U.S. Department of Labor and White House immediately and demand they resume enrollments and continue to fund Job Corps.

I am a Greater Hazleton resident and a proud supporter of Job Corps. This program provides a lifeline for young people who want to work hard and build a better future, but who may lack access to traditional pathways.

Save Job Corps The Keystone Job Corps campus trains over 600 young people in Pennsylvania each year and employs 232 staff. It brings in $31.1 Million in federal funds and creates real opportunity through hands-on training and career placement.

Please reach out to both the U.S. Department of Labor and White House immediately and push them to enroll new students and fund the Keystone Job Corps. These young people are our future.

Thank you for your time.
