Community Works West is a California-based organization operating in the field of individual and family services. It engages youth and adults through arts, education, and restorative justice programs designed to mitigate the broader impacts of incarceration and violence by empowering individuals, families, and communities. The organization collaborates with institutions that influence its constituents’ lives, including the criminal and juvenile justice systems, the public school system, and other community-based organizations, to provide enriching, sustainable programs that foster community cohesion. Based in Oakland, it positions itself within a sector focused on trauma-informed support and proactive community intervention, aiming to interrupt cycles of incarceration and violence through personal expression, alliance-building, and public engagement. A notable recent development is the launch of a guaranteed income pilot for a group of participants, reflecting a concrete programmatic expansion in its wraparound services for people affected by the justice system.
