Our Innovation
OUR WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL
For many of the people we serve, work is the turning point. SCP’s workforce development program supports individuals who are rebuilding after trauma, homelessness, or loss by creating realistic pathways to employment that fit their lives—not forcing them into systems that often fail them.
We meet people where they are, offering guidance, opportunity, and support as they work toward stability for themselves and their families.
Led by Lived Experience
Trauma-Informed & Flexible
Work as a Path to Stability
Sawyer Culberson Story & Legacy
Sawyer Culberson’s life and loss are at the heart of why this organization exists. Her passing from fentanyl poisoning transformed grief into purpose, driving a commitment to protect others from the same preventable tragedy.
Sawyer’s legacy lives on through compassionate action—supporting those facing homelessness, addiction, trauma, and instability, and fighting for pathways to safety, dignity, and recovery. Every life we serve honors her memory and affirms that no one should be lost to silence or neglect.
