The men and women who turn to Chrysalis often have multiple barriers to finding employment including homelessness, limited education, criminal records, and substance recovery issues. Since 1984, we have assisted over 77,000 people on the path to self-sufficiency at our centers throughout SoCal where poverty and homelessness are most pervasive: Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Anaheim, the Inland Empire, and Pacoima in the San Fernando Valley. Chrysalis volunteers facilitate job preparation classes and help individuals facing significant barriers to employment build resumes and practice their interview skills. Not only do volunteers play an integral role in empowering clients to build crucial job search skills, they instill the self-esteem needed to succeed in the interview and beyond. We are currently seeking volunteers (bilingual Spanish-speakers, especially) to help provide resume and practice interview assistance. All Chrysalis volunteers will be required to attend an informational session, receive training and ongoing evaluation, agree to confidentiality terms, and commit to an ongoing schedule. Volunteers must be able to commit to a minimum of 2 hours per month during our office hours: Monday-Thursday from 8am-4pm and Friday 8am-12pm.
