About Back 2 Work

Back 2 Work is a transitional employment program that provides immediate employment, and services for underserved and disadvantaged adults. We provide temporary paid employment as well as support services to help stabilize people as they begin working. Our program has multiple satellite locations throughout the state of California. We also partner with multiple agencies to provide people in need with the wrap-around services, tools, and opportunities to succeed in life.
 
We serve some of the most marginalized communities including homeless, those in transitional housing or living with relatives or friends, veterans that struggle with PTSD and substance abuse, and formerly incarcerated adults. Our goal is to provide services to help them heal, help the community heal, and transition them into stable employment and a career path.
 
"For those served, being successful can mean so much – reuniting families, breaking systemic cycles, going back to school, and providing for themselves in a way they couldn't before." - Keith Lane, Senior Director, Back 2 Work.
