• WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

    Empower Your Future with Here’s To Life Workforce

  • The Here’s to Life (HTL) Workforce Development Program empowers the Same-Gender Loving Men community in recovery by providing essential workforce skills and support.

    We enhance employment rates through workshops like “Back to Work” and “How to Work PT while on Social Security Benefits,” as well as employment surveys to identify barriers. By collaborating with legal assistance organizations, workforce partners, and local employers, we create strong support networks. Our initiatives include the “Second Chance” Job Fair and partnerships with the City of Atlanta WorkSource. We address the unique challenges faced by our community, preparing participants for sustainable employment and self-sufficiency.
