Presa Community Center improves lives by providing access to needed resources and tools for social and personal transformation.
Presa Community Center envisions a community where individuals and families, businesses, and institutions are actively engaged with each other in positive relationships that:
- Improve the physical environment
- Reduce social and economic facts that contribute to the cycle of poverty
- Improve the quality of life for all
The Presa Community Center offers a variety of programs serving youth, seniors, individuals and families. Through a comprehensive approach to working with people, we partner with them to address their immediate needs, then they identify their long-term goals and begin learning how to manage the resources they have available to them.
Work-appropriate clothing is available at no cost to men and women actively seeking employment and to those recently hired who need to add a few items that will make a difference.
A well put-together outfit can inspire all the confidence needed to approach the interview and secure that new position with authority! Economic security is one step closer with a new job in place.
Interested parties should see our Social Service Specialist at the front desk to access their “interview for success” outfit and other job readiness tools.
