Introduction to GraceWorks

GraceWorks, established by Grace Cathedral in partnership with secular resources, wishes to provide job search and career transition support for unemployed and underemployed professionals of the San Francisco Bay Area. An attempt is made to provide spiritual, technical, and operational resources.

The mission of GraceWorks is three-fold:

  1. To provide a spiritual framework for career transitions.
  2. To develop a caring, supportive, and nurturing community.
  3. To host a safe place for open and non-judgmental discussion and sharing of feelings and resources.
