From Shelter to Stability
Who We Are
CARITAS Works is a vital new program that has been developed by CARITAS through a Neighborhood Builders grant from Bank of America. Our mission is to provide intensive, innovative and life-transforming career preparation and permanent job placement services to motivated individuals referred by Richmond’s homeless services system.
Our students are people like us. They are people who have made mistakes, have learned from those mistakes, and are asking for a chance to have a better life through the promise of employment. The men and women who graduate from our five week CARITAS Works Academy will be committed and motivated to take critical steps toward a stable and sustainable lifestyle by permanently leaving our shelter system.
CARITAS Works graduates are positioned for success, but will need someone to give them a chance - a hand up - the opportunity to continue transforming their lives. We are dedicated to their success, and they are committed to their journey. . . will you help?
