Casa Latina

We connect newly arrived immigrants with job opportunities.

Through our Day Workers' Center, men and women are connected with
employers and temporary jobs that often lead to full-time, permanent
employment. They also receive training in on-the-job health and safety
and directly participate in the Center's day-to-day operation.

We give Latina immigrant women the means and opportunities to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

Our Household Helpers Project, which began in 2007, helps women gain
and retain jobs to achive economic stability, while empowering them to
increase skills and build relationships for future employment
opportunities. The program includes financial literacy and
English-language training programs, as well as weekly meetings during
which women discuss job challenges and work on alternative strategies
for gaining more control over their work environment.

Through the Household Helpers Project, women build skills in order
to move from dependence on the program to place them in domestic jobs
to the ability to build relationships with customers and seek out their
own jobs.
