Our Programs
Youth Employment Program
Specifically tailored for youth ages 16 to 24, this program begins with an eight day workshop focusing on work readiness, breaking down barriers to employment, and launching participants’ journey to success.
Many AACF clients have barriers to employment including being low-income, returning citizens, no high school diploma or GED, experiencing homelessness, parenting youth, and having one or more disabilities. The goal of AACF is to provide support for clients to achieve success through paid internships to gain valuable and marketable work experience, job training, and job seeking assistance.
Our youth clients also receive paid training (earn while you learn), career coaching, counseling, interviewing workshops, financial literacy, paid internships, job placements, housing support, supportive services, and transportation assistance.
Adult Employment Program
For adults ages 25 and up, we provide skills, needs, and interest assessments, career counseling and guidance, employment and job retention, case management, support, and follow-up services.
Clients receive a choice of job training in the areas of Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA), Pharmacy Technician, Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), Entrepreneurship, Customer Service, and Food Service.
Clients may also receive counseling, housing support, transportation support, and supportive services. We connect clients with careers, driven by labor market research, and provide wrap-around services to ensure success.
Supportive Services
An innovative and dignified manner to address barriers and ensure youth success. Our Support for Success program provides comprehensive supportive services to program participants designed to assist them in achieving their goals. The program provides needed support to program participants who are transitioning into employment with basic needs, such as transportation, clothing, uniforms, fee payments, work equipment, certification exams, and childcare assistance. The focus of this program is to eliminate potential obstacles hindering participants from starting a job or accomplishing their individual development plan. Supportive services are tailored to each individual’s needs. Case managers are available to assess and assist participants in completing application forms and obtaining support.
