Outreach Programs

As part of the League's commitment to employment services, the Center for Workforce Development Services (CWDS) has developed outreach programs designed to address specific needs or areas that impact our client's ability to reach self-sufficiency. Often, the individuals participating in this program need extensive employment and training services as well as one-on-one assistance dealing with other barriers preventing successful employment.

These programs include:
