The California Workforce Development Board, in partnership with the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, is pleased to announce the High Road Training Partnerships (HRTP) Resilient Workforce Program (RWP).

The goal of this initiative is to increase access to existing high road jobs for underserved populations and create pathways for job growth for incumbents already employed with high road employers.

The RWP will fund training partnerships with high road employers to directly increase the number of skilled workers from underserved populations into high quality jobs. Additionally, the RWP seeks to advance a field of practice that addresses urgent issues of income inequality, economic competitiveness, and climate change through regional strategies designed to support economically and environmentally resilient communities across the state.

Applications are open for the Alliance’s Community Action fund, a brand-new grant program that funds California community-based organizations to partner with public health faculty and students on projects around health equity. Click the buttons below to view the grant description and to apply.

Do you need help with an environmental assessment? A community survey? Support for your time spent building a joint grant proposal for the CDC? The possibilities are endless, and we look forward to seeing what you’ll do.

With nearly 2 million people incarcerated in the United States, we live in an age of mass control where patriarchy, racism, and punitive criminal justice policies are devastating women’s health, resources, and civic engagement. This is especially true for women who are low-income, women of color, queer and trans women, and all women whose loved ones are incarcerated and criminalized. Through the development of thoughtful organizing models including our Healing to Advocacy program, Essie is organizing and developing the leadership of the 1 in 4 women, and 1 in 2 Black women, with incarcerated loved ones to lead local and statewide campaigns to bring our loved ones home and who have the people-power potential to drive real change.
