Community-Based and Faith-Based Employment Ministries

UJCC Church and CBO Intake Sites


Crucial to success for gang and "at-risk" youth, is the availability of services after hours and on weekends.


UJCC is a faith-based partner that works with Collaborative Members that include key churches in the Los Angeles area.  They provide services and meeting facilities in the target region beyond regular office hours, which is an absolute necessity for gang affiliated participants, whose potential school and/or work schedule often conflict with daytime office hours.   These faith-based hubs are located in the different cities of the target area.


Services Include:



  •  Intake and Assessment

  •  Job Training and Employment Services

  •  Pre-Employment Training

  •  Life Skills and Mentoring

  •  Rights of Passage Training

  •  Recruitment and Referrals

  •  Conflict Resolution
