When temperatures climb closer to 100°F, life on the streets can go from unbearable to deadly. When the predicted heat index reaches 95°F or higher, the City of New York declares a “CODE RED”. During a Code Red, the BronxWorks Homeless Outreach Team will be working hard to help our most vulnerable neighbors get off the streets and into shelter.

Designated cooling centers are open during a CODE RED all around New York City and the Bronx. If you are living without air conditioning and need a place to cool down contact 311 or click here to find a cooling center near you. Please check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and sick. Cooling centers are open and available to the public. More info

BronxWorks Work Readiness Program Information Session

Two students sit at desks in a classroom, facing the camera. The student in the foreground wears glasses and a black T-shirt, resting one arm on the desk and the other near the face. Next to them, another student in a white top sits slightly behind, with long hair and hands folded near the edge of the desk. On the desk closest to the camera are a clear plastic water bottle with a green label, a smartphone with an orange case, a small food wrapper, and a laptop positioned slightly behind. Additional students sit at desks in the background using laptops, creating a casual classroom environment with natural light coming from windows along the wall.

The BronxWorks Work Readiness Training Program will host another set of information sessions Tuesday, June 16 at 10:30am or 11:30am at BronxWorks Workforce Development, 550 E 142nd St., Bronx, NY 10454.

The Work Readiness Training Program aims to support adults ages 18-64 who are:

  • unemployed (actively seeking work but not yet employed)
  • under-employed (working part-time or intermittently but seeking full-time employment)
  • not currently in the workforce but seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce

The goal of the program is to teach participants the workplace skills that employers value to ensure long-term workplace success. Through comprehensive training and coaching, the program aims to:

  • ensure participants master essential professional workplace skills like work ethic, communication, teamwork, problem solving, leadership, interpersonal skills, and more
  • support participants in securing full-time or part-time employment after the program
  • provide job retention support

Participants will also receive incentives as they reach each program milestone.
