Organization’s History 

In 1977 a group of leaders came together to address concern for the lack of employment and educational programs available to disadvantage youth and adults.
ConXión to Community is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that successfully trained and placed hundreds of highly productive employees throughout the Silicon Valley. It is known that necessity is the mother of invention… so as the needs and demands for working class families grew our leadership step up to meet the challenge. We moved to a larger facility, expanded our programming, changed our name (formerly Center for Training and Careers) and added key staff with the skills needed to provide services that can detect, prevent, engage, guide, support, improve and strengthen the family unit.

We believe in a holistic approach that truly addresses the many barriers and needs that our participants face on a daily bases, such as; truancy, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, homeless, relationship violence, peer pressure, harassment, gang violence, joblessness and school failure.

We are committed to people, partnerships and long-term solutions that will bring about social equity for all, with this in mind, we ask you to join us to expand the circle of hope by your generous giving of your time and resources so that together we can make a difference for a better and brighter future for those less fortunate in our community.
