Rubicon Programs
The name "Rubicon" refers to a decision from which there is no turning back - the beginning of the journey to change. Rubicon Programs helps East Bay residents make that journey and transform their lives by securing employment, building financial assets, improving health and developing more positive connections in the community. Very low-income, homeless and formerly incarcerated residents can access Rubicon's comprehensive services in Richmond, Antioch, Berkeley, Oakland and Hayward. Rubicon offers an initial 2-week job readiness workshop, one-on-one coaching, legal services, job placement, career advancement and other support services to East Bay residents.
