Non-profit of the month: December, 2007 - Chrysalis

When people talk about social welfare programs, whether they are run by the government or by non-profits, one definitely must talk about job training.

Indeed, there are people who aren't able bodied and they need help.

But what about those who are able bodied but for various reasons struggle to find and keep work?

One of my friends volunteers with Chrysalis.

They provide nuts and bolts help:
What if you are poor and don't have good clothes to wear for work and interview?
What if you are an employer who wants to take a chance and give someone who needs a second chance a job, where do you find someone who has taken some steps toward recovery?
What kind of support does a person transitioning from homeless have?
These kinds of concerns and many more are addressed by this non-profit.
