Opportunity Junction makes a difference in the lives of adults and their families. The organization fights poverty by helping low income Contra Costa residents gain the skills and confidence to support themselves and their families. After our clients participate in twelve weeks of training in computer and life skills, followed by several weeks of paid internship, our Hiring Partners help us place graduates into good jobs with opportunities for advancement. Most of our clients are parents, so the program impacts the welfare not only of the adults who graduate, but also countless children and grandchildren throughout Contra Costa County. Our graduates often describe the adversity in their lives and how the program has helped them become more confident and skilled.
