Mehki Jordan came to More Than Words seeking a renewed sense of hope. He was unemployed, had dropped out of school and had been hanging out with the wrong crowd. When a street altercation led to him almost losing his arm, Mehki decided to make a change in his life.
More Than Words is a Boston-based bookseller and social enterprise that teaches nearly 400 at-risk youth the skills needed to become successful in today’s workplace.
At More Than Words, Mehki finds a sense of empowerment and camaraderie among his colleagues. He now works as the business training manager at the bookstore’s Waltham, Mass., location.
Stories like Mehki’s sit at the very heart of the eBay for Charity program. Since 2003, eBay for Charity has empowered consumers to make an impact by enabling them to support their favorite charities and causes when they buy or sell on eBay.
