Irwindale Chamber of Commerce
The Irwindale Chamber of Commerce pays tribute to agencies and companies that have excelled in the following criteria: growth, staying power, workplace innovation, and commitment to community. The Chamber expressed that: “LA Works is a governmental human services organization founded in 1976. In the 32 years of service to the community, LA Works has provided job training and placements to over 25,000 adults and youth, and provided housing rehabilitation services to hundreds of San Gabriel Valley residents. LA Works administers Dial-A-Ride programs to the elderly and disabled as well as energy conservation education. Most of the services are provided to low and limited income individuals. LA Works provides a “College Works” Program to low income high school students. This is a residential college workshop for 2 weeks at the University of New Mexico, followed by a year of college entrance counseling. LA Works also administers CALGRIP – a gang reduction program designed to put gang members back in school working toward their GED/Diploma and finding a job or career. LA Works provides members with invaluable service including youth workers during the summer.” Salvador Velasquez, LA Works’ Chief Executive Officer, said “It is a great honor to be recognized by the Chamber for our achievements. Our staff is very dedicated to the community and works hard to assist those in need.” For more information about LA Works, contact Sandy Meza, Public Relations and Marketing Specialist |
