Programs
Since 2002, El Centro has connected day laborers, domestic workers, and other low-wage and immigrant workers to education and employment opportunities. Our core programs are designed to enhance job, life, and leadership skills while building relationships within the community. In recent years, we have increased our focus on engaging members as leaders in organizing campaigns to strengthen their rights and address workplace health and safety concerns.
