About
Our work experience program empowers individuals and acts as a stepping stone into employment, housing, and a better life.
Our program has the inherent public benefit of a cleaner community as our Team Members engage in beautifications projects such as street cleaning and creek restoration through our Award-Winning Work-First Model. As one of our Team Members has said, what we’re doing is a “win-win-win" scenario: the Team Member wins, the environment wins and the community wins – it doesn’t get much better than that!

Educational Activities
Create the Change® partners with nonprofit organizations that we believe offer age-appropriate service opportunities for youth and families. All of our partners sign a collaboration agreement promising to provide age-appropriate activities in a safe environment.
