Last month I persuaded a couple of regulars to apply for work at Fedex where I started working recently. I don't know how much of difference it made, but I passed their names on to HR through my managers. They both got hired and started orientation last week. As great as that news is, I consider it an even greater achievement that another one of the regulars offered to give them rides so they wouldn't miss their orientation meetings; we've started to build community where people are genuinely concerned about each other's success. I consider this to be a significant milestone.
