About C8

Real Work.
Real Reintegration.

C8 Community Work connects people in recovery with structured pathways into professional roles and community leadership. We believe in second chances, earned through real contribution.

Our Mission

Civic Reintegration

People who have been through the system often lack structured pathways back into their communities. C8 creates that bridge—through work that matters, relationships that build trust, and roles that develop real skills.

Community-Centered

We partner with neighborhoods, nonprofits, and local organizations to create work opportunities that benefit everyone. When our advocates succeed, the whole community benefits.
