CommunityWorks is an organization near and dear to my heart because of the population we serve, evident from stories shared by participants at our Community Breakfast. We empower job seekers in the Aurora, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo areas through our wrap-around supportive services. These cover various aspects of a person's life that contribute to gaining a successful career. Specific offerings we provide include assistance with career clothing, transportation and housing support, second chance bank accounts, mental health connections, and career navigation services. Please help us empower more members of our community with a donation, no matter the size.

Mission
CommunityWorks empowers the unemployed and those with barriers to employment to become self-supporting through job preparation and placement. Our vision is to see all jobseekers in our community employed and fulfilling their God-given potential.
Background Statement
CommunityWorks has been serving our community since 1995, restoring hope and empowering through employment. Over 37,000 people seeking jobs assistance have walked through our doors. Of those entering our Career Preparation & Placement track, over 6,700 have gotten jobs. Over 18,000 jobseekers have been outfitted with professional clothing for interviews and on-the-job use. Through our workshops, professional clothing closets, life coaching, case management/mentoring, job fairs, computer lab, support services, and huge doses of personal encouragement, we are able to equip jobseekers with the needed skills to obtain meaningful employment. And perhaps most importantly, we go beyond job preparation to include connections to real jobs.
