Rubicon Programs

At Rubicon Programs, we walk alongside individuals building their futures with determination, grit, and heart. They are parents, entrepreneurs, mentors, and leaders, working every day to create stability, opportunity, and joy for themselves and their communities. We don’t define people by a single chapter in their story. We see them for who they are now, and who they’re becoming. When we embrace fair chance hiring and inclusive practices, we all become stronger: stronger families, stronger communities, and a more just and vibrant East Bay. It’s time to widen the lens and uplift the resilience all around us. Learn more about our stances by visiting https://lnkd.in/gzYdKG8K #Fairchance #Fairchancehiring #Fairchanceemployer
