Project 90 is a 12-week program providing participants with the opportunity
to become accustomed to working while gaining the necessary skills and
confidence to find and retain employment. Included in the program are career
counseling, educational assessments, employment referrals, hands-on pre-employment
curriculum, internships, alumni mentoring, and computer literacy. In addition, participants
receive our wraparound support
services to address barriers in finding and obtaining employment and
housing. The program has been further strengthened with the addition of
Mellon ACTS (Administrative Center for Training and Support), which focuses
on intensive customer service skills and interpersonal training, culminating
with clients being administered the National Professional Service Certification,
an accredited exam developed by the National
Retail Federation Foundation.
CREW

Community Re-entry for Women (CREW) is the result of our partnerships

for reintegration for female offenders with the goal of preventing homelessness
and reducing recidivism. Included are intensive case management, mental
health screening, job readiness and life skills instruction and job and
housing placement upon discharge. Critical to this and all Project Place
programs are our wraparound support
services to address barriers in finding and obtaining employment and
housing.

Work Ready is an intense four-week job preparation program that includes 30 hours a week of classroom and computer instruction coupled with case management for individuals looking to reenter the workforce.
