Day Labor & Civic Engagement
It’s 6am and the sun is just barely breaking over the horizon to shed light on employers arriving to hire
the trained workers who eagerly await work for the day. While they wait, all of the workers learn
specialized skills, engage in volunteer service, and practice English so that one day they can move on to
more reliable employment and end the daily waiting game…
Help end their waiting game now, and hire a worker!
The Day Labor and Civic Engagement program fosters professional growth by offering vocational ESL classes, trade skills workshops and a trusted place for members and employers to form job connections at fair wages.
