Meet Esteban, a participant in our Work Readiness Program. In his time at BCS, he’s learned how to prepare for job interviews and present himself professionally, and he’s even gotten hands-on work experience organizing merchandise at Burlington.

“I feel like there’s more for me to learn here before I get a job,” says Esteban. “But so far, I’ve worked on how to dress for an interview and for work in general, how to have a positive attitude, how to be compassionate and have empathy for people.”

Esteban believes that the Work Readiness Program has given him the tools he’ll need to eventually land a full-time position and be a model employee in his workplace.

High rent prices often force Brooklyn residents to cut down on living essentials such as food, heating, and transportation, all of which can make the winter months especially challenging. At BCS, we’re helping families meet all of their needs with our winter drives, community outreach programs, and housing support.
