We believe everyone deserves a second chance.
For over a decade, The Unity Council’s groundbreaking social enterprise has provided jobs for more than 50 people with multiple barriers to employment, every year. PSC serves adults who are currently or formerly justice system-involved individuals. We employ adults with barriers to employment to keep our community safe, clean, and vibrant.
We provide a work-based learning environment and workforce development training program for employees to gain the necessary job readiness skills to integrate into a traditional workplace with higher pay to lift themselves out of poverty.
PSC employees are trained in public space maintenance, custodial services, and neighborhood safety. Because The Unity Council offers multiple economic and social development programs, Peralta Service employees are often connected to other workforce development, financial capability, or public benefit programs.
