Strive DC

Strive DC helps chronically unemployed people in the Washington, DC area transform their lives through employment. The program helps people find and keep employment through three programs. The first is the core STRIVE Job Readiness program through which participants receive job-readiness training, personal assistance in job placement and two years of supportive services. The training and two-year follow-up set STRIVE DC apart from other employment programs. Together they produce low-cost, fast entry into the workforce and high job retention rates. Second is the STRIVE For Success (SFS) fast-track GED program. This innovative program helps young DC residents, aged 16-25, quickly prepare for and earn their GED in a classroom style setting. The third program, Career Gear, provides professional clothing to men seeking work. All the services are provided free-of-charge to participants.
