Stepping Out

Reentering the community and stepping back into the workforce – especially after homelessness and incarceration – can be difficult. Working in teams to beautify the streets, sidewalks and throughfares in San Joaquin County, the “Stepping Out” level of RTW introduces off-site work as participants begin earning and saving. At the same time, program participants begin to work on life skills and soft skills that aim to improve self-esteem, work ethic, and reinforce personal values.
