The Agency

The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a charity that reduces crime and makes Calgary communities safer by helping youth and adults make positive changes and move away from criminal behaviour.

CJHS is committed to restorative justice and an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.

The Program

Employment Services programming at the agency encompasses both group employment preparation activities and training and individualized targeted support. Employment preparation and training is provided in a structured group format and includes life management skill building, employment related workshops and industry certification training. Intensive individual support is also offered to those requiring additional help to secure employment. All services target adults who have had justice involvement and who are experiencing financial and other barriers.

All adult serving programs are delivered by a dynamic and interactive team that works collaboratively to provide effective and coordinated services to all clients. All programming offers client-centred, strength-based, trauma-informed services and support; access to other internal programs / services or external resources is facilitated as needed.
