Workforce Development

Wash/dry/fold Social Enterprise

The workforce development program in partnership with three local labor groups is by far the most ambitious and complicated undertaking to date. The program provides an opportunity for participants to build a variety of readily transferrable soft and professional skills through the experience of processing laundry in a dynamic, wash, dry, fold social enterprise with the goal to prepare participants for success in future positions. 

Your donations in this area helps finance the critical role of a Work Readiness Coach, an individual with a unique set of both practical work skills and experience in supporting the targeted populations. 

Program participants also have an opportunity to engage in some of the community support initiatives of VCWL such as the weekly free laundry event or community art programming.
