Employment Services

We see employment as a basic right for LGBTQ individuals in order for them to increase financial health and build assets over time. To this end, we offer a range of services, events, and workshops tailored to support participants’ job searches, to offer networking opportunities with potential employers and to connect to further training opportunities.

At this time, most programs have been suspended through April 7, 2020 due to DPH COVID-19 (coronavirus) recommendations. Other services may be available remotely on a case-by-case basis. Please visit sfcenter.org/covid19 for the latest information.

LGBTQ job-seekers face a unique set of challenges due to the threat of workplace discrimination and intolerance. The Center works to make this experience as painless as possible by offering services including resume review, mock interviews, job fairs, and ongoing employment workshops.

A job readiness focuses on three basic but integral areas: Resume writing and review, cover letter writing and review, Interview preparation and mock interviews. We have special guest volunteers who work professionally in hiring and recruiting to provide focused support. Job-seekers are encouraged to bring a copy of their resume, cover letter or even a copy of the job description of the job they are planning to apply to.
Thursdays, 12 – 2 PM
