Vision:
Create a movement to organize public, private and non-profit stakeholders collectively to advocate for resources, jobs, and support services to address employment needs in Northern San Diego County.
Purpose:
The purpose of North County Works (NCW) is to assist agencies, who serve diverse populations of clients with various barriers to employment including low-income status, limited English proficiency, substance abuse, racial/ethnic discrimination, physical and mental health conditions, homelessness, criminal history and the disenfranchised workers. By utilizing the collaborative approach, a client will enter the NCW through a “no-wrong door approach”. Case managers can access shared resources throughout the collaborative by utilizing the NCW Job Developer to link their clients to the appropriate programs, thereby decreasing the number of participants that are turned away without resources.
