The Work Force Youth Program
The Work Force is a comprehensive after-school educational enrichment and work-readiness program for low-income teens in Cambridge public housing.
Partnerships
CHA's Resident Services Department, together with many of the City's service organizations, offers a host of educational, vocational and self sufficiency programs for adult residents and voucher holders.
This Way ONward
This Way ONward (formerly This Way Ahead) is a rigorous work readiness training program for youth between the ages of 16 and 24. Through a partnership with Old Navy, Cambridge Housing Authority offers intensive customer service workshops led by program coordinators who teach basic employment skills, as well as skills specific to the retail environment.
Resident services empowerment fund
Cambridge Housing Authority’s Resident Services Empowerment Fund is an investment to ensure that The Work Force youth program will have a bright future for many years to come. The Resident Services Empowerment Fund is an endowment that lives at Cambridge Community Foundation. Our goal is to grow this endowment to over five million dollars over the next few years.
But we can’t do it alone. The Resident Services Empowerment Fund is seeking to create a sustainable and diverse funding portfolio to ensure that future generations can create pathways toward self-reliance and break the cycle of poverty.
