Giving Back to The Community (Tampa, FL)

[Jason Pinkerton]

Hello All,

I am starting my real estate business in Tampa, FL. Even though I am just getting started, I wanted at the cornerstone of my real estate business to give back to the community. As I build my wealth to provide a better life for my family, I want to stay rooted in my foundations of servitude and community. I have a soft spot for the homeless, and being military myself, particularly homeless veterans. I want to start (or join, if something like already exists) a non-profit organization that helps homeless (particularly veterans) individuals find employment by providing them apprenticeships with local contractors (and eventually other career fields) where they receive training and after an agreed amount of time, the contractor can hire them if they have done well. I want to help those who are willing to work at getting their life back on track. I want this to be connected not monetarily, but ideologically to my real estate business because as I work with contractors and other real estate related business I can network and connect homeless vets with career (or at least job) opportunities. I say all this to try and find like minded individuals that want to become apart of something that gives back in this way. I already have a ton on my plate being military, starting a real estate business, and of course with a family. However, with the right team who is passionate about this type of community service, I feel we could do great things together. If there is anyone out there who has any advice or is interested in helping, I would love you to reach out (reply, PM, or colleague request). Thanks in advance!
