“Strengthening our communities.”

- Mayor Ed Lee

Since 2004, our Workforce Program has been assisting San Franciscans and Bay Area residents in acquiring the skills they need to enter the workforce or advance their careers. Our program is located in Visitacion Valley and we strive to bridge the gap between the job seeker and local companies looking for qualified candidates. We provide resume assistance, job search workshops, computer access, job leads, scheduled hiring events, and job fairs. FACES SF has language capacity in English, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese.

For general inquires or to submit your resume to our database, please contact: LaRenda Cade - lcade@facessf.org.
