We Are Cara Collective
Fueling a courageous national movement to eradicate relational and financial poverty
We engage job seekers, employers, and other organizations across the country to break the cycle of poverty through the power and purpose of employment.
EQUIPPING JOB SEEKERS
We provide free workforce training, job placement, and personal and professional coaching to pave the way for gainful employment.
BUILDING THE FIELD
We work with organizations across the country to build, deploy, and grow strong workforce solutions to help more people experiencing poverty get back to work.
SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES
We engage employers, civic leaders, and policymakers to shift perspectives on the issues that shape poverty and the opportunity we all have to help people out of it.
What Cara Collective Does
Since 1991, our mission has been to eradicate poverty and create hope, jobs, and opportunity.
If you’re unemployed or underemployed, Cara offers a structured pathway to help you achieve long-term career success. Let’s work together to help you get and keep a job you’ll love.
Are you a hiring professional searching for screened, trained, qualified, and motivated entry-level talent? Let’s work together to source the talent you need.
