Our mission: To fight poverty by helping low-income adults gain the skills and confidence to support themselves and their families.
At Opportunity Junction, technology, literacy and personal development combine with real-world experience to put people on the road to economic self-sufficiency.
Many Contra Costa families, including more than 47% of single mothers, don’t earn enough to meet their families’ basic needs for food, housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation. How would you turn your life around if you didn’t have the education, experience and stability to get a job that could meet basic needs?
"Opportunity Junction saved me," says Heidi Wagner. "They kept me busy and off drugs. They built my self-esteem and reminded me that I was intelligent.”
Heidi, a single mother of a toddler son, got an entry-level clerical job using the skills that she gained in the Job Training and Placement Program.
