Overview

 

Our philosophy is that a steady job is a key step in a person’s transition out of poverty and onto a pathway to self-sufficiency. Chrysalis’ core employment services are designed to meet clients where they are and support them during every phase of their self-directed job search.

Since 1984, Chrysalis has empowered more than 90,000 individuals experiencing financial insecurity and housing instability to navigate barriers to employment, carrying out John Dillon’s vision of changing lives through jobs.

Our individualized approach creates ripples of change in the lives of our clients and their families, while positively impacting the community at large.

We’ve got a job to do – a job to address the economic inequities and homelessness that continue to plague our most vulnerable neighbors.
