Volunteering at St. Anthony’s helps clients build employment skills while giving a much-needed hand in the community.

Integrated Work Services

Integrated Work Services (IWS) provides a completely individualized program combining paid employment, volunteering, community college education, social and recreational activities.  IWS is for clients who do not need constant accompaniment or who are getting ready for a full-time job.

A weekly schedule for some IWS clients might include literacy classes or computer lab at City College, swimming at the YMCA and an afternoon of paid employment as a file clerk in a downtown office. The goal is to help clients experience a range of activities and refine their work skills so they are better prepared to join the full-time workforce and integrate successfully into the work-life world.

Clients of The Arc get valuable job training while making a difference in our community as volunteers at over 25 service organizations in San Francisco.  Our volunteer sites include:
