Programs: businesses specifically created with the purpose of training and employing interns from disadvantaged backgrounds as a way to prepare them for future success. In return for their hard work, we provide paid job training to last a lifetime, while our community provides opportunities for these interns to practice their skills, whether hiring our crews for a landscaping project through GroundWorks, perusing our well-curated furniture collection at RenewWorks or enjoying a made-to-order treat at CafeWorks. Through deliberate and resourceful business planning, extensive collaboration with our corporate and community partners, and a commitment to tangible outcomes, we are bringing our vision to reality - one where everyone, no matter their situation, has an equal chance at a safe and secure future.
