Chrysalis serves people navigating barriers to the workforce by offering a job-readiness program, individualized supportive services, and paid transitional employment. The organization empowers clients on their pathway to stability, security, and fulfillment in their work and lives. For over four decades, Chrysalis has tackled the economic inequalities affecting Southern California’s most vulnerable populations, changing lives by helping people prepare for, find, and retain jobs. Since founder John Dillon opened the doors of Chrysalis Center in 1984 on Los Angeles’ Skid Row, the organization has assisted more than 85,000 individuals in their journey out of poverty and into self-sufficiency. Chrysalis now operates from six locations: Downtown Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Monica, and a first-of-its-kind reentry opportunity center in South Los Angeles, serving community members who have faced impediments to employment. Services include job readiness classes, resume preparation, practice interviews, computer and internet access, a phone message center, transportation assistance, mental health counseling, scholarships, upskilling programs, a driver’s license fund, professional attire and hygiene items, and more.
