Providence House
Providence House, Ohio's first licensed crisis nursery, offers emergency shelter to children newborn through five years old actively living in crisis. Since 1981, Providence House has provided quality, center-based, family focused residential care to over 5,000 infants and children in crisis.
Providence House was created for the sole purpose of caring for innocent children in crisis with a goal of providing high-quality, responsive and compassionate services to infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families.
We care for at risk babies and children while working closely with referral agencies to address the needs of the parent or caregiver and attempt to resolve the crisis in the family that is placing these vulnerable young children at risk. Our goal is to place a healthy, thriving child into a healthy, healed family.

For any individual or family unit, gainful employment is an integral part of achieving stability. To help adults achieve self-sustaining jobs, WSEM has developed a Workforce Partnership Program focused on employee recruitment
and preparation. This program will help adults in the community to enter training and/or educational programs that will result in steady jobs and career-building positions. El Barrio now offers career pathways through vocational training in Commercial Driving, Construction, and Customer Service.
We are a social service agency on Cleveland's near west side looking for volunteers to teach English as a Second Language to adults. The ideal candidate would have some ESL teaching experience, possibly in the Peace
Corps or something like that, or a pretty good feel for English grammar. Excellent oral and written communication skills are a must. While we do provide support and assistance, we do not provide any sort of formal training.
Most of our students speak Spanish as their first language, so some knowledge of Spanish may be helpful, but not necessary. These particular students are at an intermediate to advanced level of English, so they are quite fluent, but working on details of grammar.
