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 virtual and in-person 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, many programs have been suspended due to DPH COVID-19 (coronavirus) recommendations. Some services may be available remotely on a case-by-case basis. Please visit sfcenter.org/covid19 for the latest information.

Geared towards LGBTQ+ job seekers, stay up to date on upcoming virtual and in-person services, workshops, and events designed to support job search efforts, skill development, and provide networking opportunities with potential employers. We’ll keep you updated on the latest job openings, training opportunities, job fairs, and employer spotlight sessions.

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.

Job readiness focuses on three basic but integral areas: resume, LinkedIn, and interview preparation. We host industry experts as volunteers who work professionally in hiring and recruiting to provide focused support over Zoom. Job-seekers are encouraged to bring a copy of their resume, or even a copy of the job description they are planning to apply to.

Thursdays via Zoom, 12 – 2 PM

Due to Covid-19 our signature in-person career fairs are suspended. However, we are providing virtual employer spotlights and virtual hiring events. Please email us at employmentservices@sfcenter.org or book an Intake appointment with us for more help.
