Bay Area Community Resources

Workforce development programsworkforce development programs provide education, job training, and paths to careers that can lead to economic self-sufficiency. We engage youth and adults in san francisco, contra costa and alameda counties, providing access to high demand careers in high-growth industries and the supports necessary to keep them. Our clients had multiple barriers to success: few or no educational qualifications, little or no work history, and few employment skills. A significant portion also had criminal records, housing instability, and mental health and/or substance use issues.
