We know that all employees – no matter what role they play or how long they’ve been with SANDAG – are essential to our continued success. Dedication. Competence. Innovativeness. Integrity. These are some of the qualities we look for. And in return, we’re committed to providing a nurturing atmosphere where staff can develop to their full potential.
You can find a job anywhere. But fulfilling careers that engage you in serving others are hard to come by. And that’s what SANDAG employees excel at – meeting and exceeding the expectations of our Board of Directors and other regional policymakers, business leaders, community and special interest groups, and the public. If you’re excited by change, motivated by challenges, and eager to satisfy the people you serve, there’s a place for you at SANDAG.

Second Chance creates opportunities for people to transform their own lives by fostering behavioral changes that promote personal responsibility, healthy relationships and positive contributions to society. We accomplish this through programs that provide job readiness and life skills training, along with job placement, mental health and prisoner re-entry services, relapse prevention and sober-living housing for adults and youth in need.
Second Chance uses the STRIVE job readiness training program whose attitudinal training model is a highly effective curriculum for rebuilding lives by successfully connecting people to gainful employment. Second Chance offers the two-year program on a large scale, placing participants in good jobs at a record-setting pace. With an emphasis on individual accountability, participants engage in 160 hours of intensive instruction during which they break personal barriers to self-sufficiency, obtain new job skills, develop résumés and career plans, and practice interviewing techniques.
The Second Chance Youth Garden is a six-week job training program for young people ages 14-24 who have had involvement with the juvenile justice system. As a partnership with San Diego County Juvenile Court and Community School (JCCS) system, our program combines in-class and experiential learning to increase youth awareness of urban agriculture and food justice, and help move them towards successful high school graduation.
With eight alcohol and drug free homes owned and operated by Second Chance in the San Diego area, residents can be housed in a supportive environment as they transition to permanent employment and housing. They learn to care appropriately for their living space as on-site residential managers oversee tenant and property maintenance at each house.

In today’s world, with so many changes taking place in the economy and new technology being introduced continuously, it’s hard to keep up with the job industry. In fact, there are new opportunities becoming available all the time and some of the jobs that were scarce in the past, are now in high demand. Moreover, in order to get a decent paying job today, you’ll almost certainly need a college degree. It’s not like it was years ago where you can land a job managing a store with a high school diploma. Now, there is too much involved with running a business or fulfilling job duties in other occupations, to rely on basic skills and knowledge. You will need to spend a significant amount of time learning your craft in order to succeed and going to college to earn a degree is the best way to do that.

Hand Up Cars (Jewish Family Service)
The Ways to Work program at Jewish Family Service provides low-interest car loans and education to credit-challenged, working families. Families with their own car enjoy a greater quality of life.

- Personalized connection to other JFS services and other community resources
