🌳 Parks 2 Work: Creating Pathways to a Brighter Future! 🏡
Through a powerful collaboration between the Palm Beach County Community Services Department, Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County, and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation, the Parks 2 Work Program is helping individuals experiencing homelessness move toward stability and permanent housing.
Parks 2 Work participants and a Crew Chief from the Parks Department work each day helping clean and maintain our beautiful public parks while earning a weekly paycheck: funded by the Homeless Coalition. They also work one-on-one with a specialized case manager to build new skills, explore employment opportunities, and prepare for self-sustainability.
Their earnings help them save toward permanent housing, work attire, and other basic needs—turning work into opportunity, and opportunity into a place to call home.
And the results are making a difference! Several Parks 2 Work participants have successfully graduated from the program, secured full-time employment, and transitioned into long-term housing—demonstrating what is possible when opportunity, support, and determination come together.
🌱 A clean park. A paycheck. New skills. A pathway home.
