From resource centers to employment services, Redwood Community Services is committed to providing our young adults with tools for success as they transition to adulthood.
The Arbor Youth Resource Center -
Located in Ukiah, the Arbor Youth Resource Center is a place where transition-age youth can come to find supports and services to help them move from adolescence to adulthood successfully. We do this by providing social, emotional, and physical support and care. Our programs provide education support, housing navigation, peer mentorship, health and well-being, employment workshops and more. These centers focus particularly on resources and services that promote opportunities to engage youth as partners and provide youth the opportunity to develop the real-life skills necessary to succeed as community citizens and workers.

CalWORKs Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE)
The CalWORKs Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE) program provides on-the-job training opportunities in job classifications throughout Redwood Community Services for recipients of CalWORKs referred by the County of Mendocino. Participants are employed with our agency for 3-6 months, receiving all mandatory employee trainings, position specific trainings, and hands on work experience while being supported by a site supervisor and Employment Specialist. With successful completion in the program and submission of an application for an open position, participants are considered for permanent employment. Many of our participants have become employed with Redwood Community Services and were able to transition out of the Cal- WORKs cash assistance program.
