Inclusion + Diversity + Growth

Our Philosophy

At The Palms Center, we believe that everyone, regardless of their background or challenges, has the potential to make a positive impact on their community. Our mission is to create an inclusive, empowering environment where individuals can own their stories and achieve success. With a foundation in both experience and education, we take a holistic approach to workforce development and career consulting, with a particular focus on marginalized communities and Spanish-speaking workers. We are committed to helping individuals turn setbacks into opportunities by fostering leadership skills, connecting them to community health resources, providing peer support, and facilitating community-driven initiatives. Through these efforts, we work to empower individuals to thrive and build stronger, more resilient communities.

"Survivors often create the best support systems and strategies. But whew, it takes work. You've learned to be patient, yet tough. It takes a strong person to navigate the work. Bless you for your work and forward thinking. Some staff could use compassionate coping skills. "
