eastside works is an innovation hub in the Downtown Eastside dedicated to providing employment services and wrap-around supports to people who have high barriers to traditional employment. We use this model to inform policy changes to employment services to ensure they remain inclusive to the needs of marginalized populations who are seeking employment.
OUR MISSION
At Eastside Works we offer tailored, one-on-one support to individuals with high barriers to employment to achieve their employment goals.
Additionally, we offer our members support around other challenges in their lives that effect their employment including substance use issues and lack of other resources.
