Wraparound Support

We Remove Every Barrier

Training is only part of the equation. We provide child care, transportation, housing, and re-entry support so nothing stands between you and your career.

Child Care

Vouchers covering first month of childcare for up to 2 children when graduates lose state benefits after employment.

Transportation

Bus passes, Uber/Lyft rides, group pick-up, and driver's education for students maintaining 90%+ attendance.

Housing

Emergency shelter, rooming houses, family housing partnerships, and a rent-to-own homeownership pathway.

Re-Entry

Partnerships with the DA, Justice Point, and Public Defender to support returning citizens through training and employment.

From Our Students

“The Mindful Group trained me when no one else would take a chance. Real support, and a job waiting on the other side. That's not a program — that's a pipeline.”

Program Graduate, CNA Class of 2024
