We have a strong reputation in the community and among partner organizations for providing quality programs and creating an accessible environment that is responsive to our community’s needs. With a current annual budget of $3.75 million, 20 years of experience, 46 full time employees, 15 partner staff on site and 10-20 work experience employees, SE Works has a proven track record in delivering diverse programming. We have managed a broad range of federal and non-federal contracts that support the mission of our organization. In 2008, our work in the field of re-entry garnered a Champions of Compassion Award from the White House and we are held up as a national leader in successful outcomes. Through our accredited Alternative School we have assisted 600 disadvantaged youth to obtain their GED and transition to College, thus breaking the cycle of poverty. SE Works assisted more than 25,000 job seeker visits during the Great Recession through our WIA funded WorkSource Portland Metro-SE Center. We deliver programming within three Centers of Excellence: The WorkSource and Literacy Services Center, The Youth Center and the Reentry Employment Center.
