About Us

Founded in November 2022, the Center of Success was created to address economic barriers facing refugee, immigrant, and working-class families. Many rely on small, self-owned businesses or low-wage jobs with limited benefits, and even college graduates often struggle to access career-level opportunities due to limited networks and entry-level pathways.

The Center of Success was established to break this cycle by aligning workforce development with real community needs, creating new job pathways, and connecting workers to the resources required for long-term stability. Our work began by supporting newly arrived asylum seekers with essential needs and continues by helping individuals secure employment and build pathways toward economic self-sufficiency.

The Center of Success strengthens communities by aligning workforce development with real local needs. We study community priorities to help shape a workforce that fills service gaps while creating new jobs across industries. We support workers in building skills, improving job quality, and transitioning into better opportunities as technology and automation reshape the economy. We connect workers to the resources they need to succeed, including access to capital, technical assistance, and partnerships with local governments, employers, educational institutions, and community organizations.
