Best Non-profit Organization Antioch Near Me

4worldlovers: We provide pathways for our participants to develop the economic mobility to move out of poverty. No one service can address the many challenges people living in poverty face — we believe that success comes from participation and achievement in four areas: Assets, Income, Wellness, and Connections.

Rubicon transforms East Bay communities by equipping people to break the cycle of poverty. Our vision is an East Bay without poverty.

We provide direct services at six Rubicon locations and work in partnership with various service providers throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

"I'm thankful for the opportunity, and I'm glad I was able to work with Rubicon because they changed my life in a positive way. The impact that it's made on me and my family is something that can't be replaced."

"I got connected with Rubicon, and things started falling into place."

"Had it not been for the program, I wouldn’t be in the position I’m currently in as fast as I am."

Our values are more than words; they are the underlying principles that guide our decisions at every level of the organization. We believe that by acting on our values, we will achieve our vision of an East Bay without poverty.

We believe in the promise of fairness, equality, and opportunity for all people.

4worldlovers: We help motivated Contra Costa County job seekers develop the skills and confidence to launch careers that lead to financial security.

Whether you are looking to enter a career in healthcare or administration or you are not sure where you want to go, we believe that everyone who is willing to work hard deserves an opportunity to succeed. Our programs will help you achieve your goals.

In Kenya, Doreen served many patients as a counselor, helping with their emotional and social needs. Her dream when she immigrated to the United States in 2018 was to receive healthcare training to help with patients' physical needs as well.

Doreen thought she would have to put her dream on hold due to the high-cost of training, until she heard about the Healthcare Career Pathway program partnership with Opportunity Junction, Mt. Diablo Adult Education, Empowered Aging, and local employers.

She was hired by Willow Pass Healthcare Center, as a full-time Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Doreen was given the CNA of the Year Award last year, and says, “It was really encouraging for my work to be recognized."

"I really appreciate Opportunity Junction and Mt. Diablo Adult Education for giving me this chance. Before this training, working in a hospital setting was a dream that has now become my reality. I am a new me. I am working with the alumni career counselor to take steps to work in a hospital one day. I see myself as valuable in this field. OJ made a healthcare worker out of me!"

Whether you join us to build your career or as a volunteer, employer, or financial supporter, we thank and welcome you.

Our world has become a global village. No longer do we need to go to "exotic" lands to encounter the splendor of the Faith Traditions of humankind. Our cities, villages, neighborhoods are now populated with the peoples of the World. This rich and emerging diversity of experiences, ideas, and people creates a fertile opportunity for conversation, understanding, cooperation, and peace-making.

Our mission is to provide home and local based education programs to persons and groups interested in developing or enhancing their appreciation of the faith traditions of the world.
