We empower you!
Our services aim to address the underlying causes of un- and underemployment among women.
Our services are designed to meet every individual’s current needs, regardless of background or level of experience. For folks who are formerly or currently homeless, barriers to employment can range from physical disabilities and mental health obstacles to a lack of formal work experience, long bouts of unemployment after job loss, or general stigmatization of homelessness. At WCGL, we aim to prepare clients for long-term, sustainable employment, by building on their existing skills and empowering them to realize personal and professional goals alike.
skill building & Computer Lab
We provide help learning computer skills, financial literacy, math, resume building, and more.
During open lab hours, WCGL participants can use computers to search and apply for jobs, write cover letters and resumes, or work on school assignments. Our staff is here to support you the whole way, if you want it.
Participants also receive help with basic necessities that most jobseekers take for granted, like a physical address, an email account, a quiet space to take a work-related phone call, interview-ready clothing, and personal hygiene items.
