How you help	As a volunteer you will play a critical part in helping individuals secure employment this year, setting them up with the tools to succeed in the job market for the rest of their lives!

About us	Our philosophy is that a steady job is the single most important step in a person’s transition out of poverty and onto a pathway to long-term self-sufficiency. Offering a hand up, rather than a hand out, Chrysalis empowers our clients to complete a self-directed job search. For more than 30 years, Chrysalis has been dedicated to assisting homeless and low-income individuals to secure and maintain employment. Since 1984, we have assisted over 71,000 people on the path toward self-sufficiency.
