Hire a Worker!
Your support in hiring from our Worker Center is critical at this difficult time in our country.
More about CRC's Worker Center and History
CRC's Workers Center is more than a place to look for work in a dignified and safe space. The Worker's Center itself was started as a response to the need to defend low-wage immigrant worker rights for those that are most vulnerable to workplace exploitation, discrimination, wage theft and hazardous working conditions. Our Worker's Center directly advocates on their behalf.
While we can recount many success stories, there are also thousands of workers in the region that need our support. Fighting for worker justice in not a one size fits all strategy. Our Worker's Center conducts direct case work but we also are proactive on the administrative and legislative advocacy front to improve labor conditions throughout Westchester and greater New York. We engage the community to look for creative, accessible solutions that advance labor rights and social justice. At our Worker's Center, workers have power and the community has a voice.
CRC believes that direct organizing is a fundamental dimension to achieving labor justice. We are founding members of the Westchester Labor Alliance (La Alianza Laboral de Westchester). As part of the alliance, we work strategically to tackle looming issues of wage theft and worker exploitation in Westchester. Recently, CRC has enhanced our collaboration with the National Domestic Worker Alliance through a funding partnership that has enabled us to train domestic worker leaders to do direct outreach and organizing of other domestic workers. We call them “Groundbreakers” because they are breaking new ground in domestic worker leadership and community organizing for the Community Resource Center. It is a great place to be part of a community and a movement.
A day at the Worker's Center might start off with a few local homeowners hiring skilled day laborers to finish a home project. Those that did not get hired or domestic workers who are looking to improve their English can take an ESL class that they registered for. Later in the day, workers who are having a problem with wage theft can learn about their rights and file a claim. Some people might come in use our computers to fill out applications online or learn how to build a resume. A friendly game of checkers among friends or a few minutes in the children’s corner while their mothers and fathers get information about the next construction class or Know Your Rights session are all part of an the life of our Worker’s Center.
For any information about services that the Worker's Center Provides, please contact Rocio Lopez or Lourdes Caraballo at (914) 630-7022 or lourdescrcny@gmail.com.

Domestic Workers Program
The Domestic Workers Program, a part of our signature Building our Future Workforce Development Program, has not only made it possible for domestic workers to receive high level training in domestic work through the model Cornell University We Rise Nanny Training Program, but as a result of funding from the National Domestic Workers Alliance, CRC is able to create opportunities for leadership development, advocacy training, and a myriad of other base building opportunities that help domestic workers to organize and advocate for raising the standards of domestic workers at the local, state, and national level.
Taking a holistic approach to workforce training, CRC provides other supports, such as mock job interviewing, building negotiation skills, safety training, resume writing, and English classes. A critical component that has been included in all of CRC’s workforce development training programs, and in addition to OSHA guidelines, CRC also provides training in protocols for workers during a health pandemic.
