America Works is a dedicated organization that was founded in 1984 to fight for the rights of marginalized individuals, particularly those who face discrimination based on race. They combat systemic racism through various programs, including bail reform and re-entry initiatives, as well as collaborations with municipalities across the United States to support criminal justice reform and provide job opportunities to those in need.

America Works matches people of all demographics with attainable and sustainable employment opportunities, offering wraparound services such as transportation assistance, counseling, employment bonuses, support services, and training assistance. Their goal is to help individuals get back on their feet and working full-time as quickly as possible, providing ongoing support even after job placement to ensure long-term success and advancement.
