Case Managers
Case managers assist participants in developing their individual road to a better future – life skills development; employee/employer/coworker aptitude; resume building; interview preparation; exploring potential career pathways; linking them with training opportunities in high growth, in-demand industries; navigating financial aid options; and connecting participants and local employers who are hiring.
Educational Services
In addition to employment services, Safer offers educational support to individuals 16 years old and up - including high school equivalency preparation and testing, basic skills training, and certification opportunities. Safer also offers help to equip participants to be their own best advocate.
Clients + Community Partners
Through referrals to community partners, Safer can assist with access to shelter, food, transportation, substance abuse or mental health support, civil legal counsel, and an array of other supportive services to sustain progress towards securing and retaining employment.
At Safer Foundation we believe in the power of the individual and we believe in Second Chances.
