Lake Worth Resource Center

Lake Worth is a small city with large communities of Central American, Mexican, and Haitian immigrants.  In the past several years, the city has struggled to work out issues related to day laborers waiting along the main avenues for work and lack of integration of these immigrant populations into our community. The Mentoring Center and Partners responded to the needs of the community and the City of Lake Worth and created the Lake Worth Resource Center.  This volunteer-based center works to match the long-term unemployeed residents with employers while providing job readiness training, English classes, green industry skills training, integration mentoring, TPS application assistance and more.
