People Who Care

People Who Care People Who Care (PWC) is a nonprofit community organization dedicated to inspiring positive change.

Nonprofit Youth Organization

It is time we take responsibility for the youths in our communities and help them in ways that will benefit the rest of their lives. At People Who Care (PWC), our nonprofit outreach organization provides after school activities, vocational training, and employment opportunities for kids between the ages of 12 to 21. Youth Solar and Environmental Training Program (YS&E

TP)
Green jobs are one of the most promising sectors in the current economy. On January 14, 2011, PWC launched its Youth Solar and Environmental Training Program. In partnership with key local agencies, PWC provides at-risk and high-risk youth with environmental education, green-related job training, and practical experience in leadership and entrepreneurship. The key partners are:

(1) People Who Care Children Association
(2) Contra Costa County Mental Health
(3) Contra Costa County Probation Department, and Juvenile Services Division
(4) Pittsburg Unified School District
(5) Individual Trainers and Consultants

After-School Mentoring Programs
Established in 2009 in partnership with Contra Costa County Mental Health, the PWC Hip Hop After-school Program provides much needed support for children who attend Community Day School, Golden Gate, in Pittsburg, CA. These high-risk juveniles include those referred by probation and local school districts for expulsion, behavioral issues, or school attendance problems. Children attending Community Day have a half-day curriculum, which means they get out of school everyday at noon when other schools are still in session. After-school hours are a critical time for these children, when healthy extra curricular activities can keep them out of trouble. We provide key activities, including
Vocational Training
Employment Opportunities
Monthly Individual Child Assessments
Academic and Educational Support
Peer-Based Juvenile Delinquency Prevention

🌿 PWC Conservationists Explore Big Break Regional Shoreline! 🛶

This past weekend, PWC clients spent the day out at Big Break Regional Shoreline experiencing the Delta in a whole new way. For many of our youth, it was their first time kayaking, and they did an amazing job navigating the water and working together out on the shoreline. 🌊🦆

After spending time on the water, our group visited the Big Break Visitor Center, where they explored interactive exhibits and learned more about the Delta ecosystem, local wildlife, and the importance of environmental conservation. 🌱🐟

Trips like these give our youth the opportunity to connect with nature, try new experiences, and build confidence outside of the classroom. We’re grateful to partner with the East Bay Regional Park District to continue creating meaningful outdoor learning opportunities for our clients.

Looking forward to the next adventure! 🌎✨
