Back 2 Work

Back 2 Work keeps California clean while creating pathways to long-term success for formerly incarcerated individuals, transitional youth, and Californians overcoming barriers to work through our transitional employment program.

Each year, we employ more than 6,000 Californians through a network of 99 subcontractor work crews across 36 counties. In addition to paid, transitional employment, we provide career readiness services, advanced training, mentorship, and wraparound support designed to prepare graduates for full-time, permanent careers.

We also offer pre-apprenticeship programs that open doors to the tech industry, building skills in software application design, development, and maintenance.

Our comprehensive approach helps individuals move into sustainable employment and build stable, fulfilling futures. We don’t just offer employment - we create lasting pathways to career growth.
