About Community Works

Community Works provides direct services and advocacy for people impacted by incarceration. This work takes place in jails, prisons and communities across the Bay Area. The agency’s mission is to disrupt our failed justice systems and heal the impacts of incarceration. We accomplish this mission through an interconnected series of direct services and advocacy that promotes diversion, supports reentry, builds individual capacity and connects families.

One Family Program

Community Works West established the One Family Program in September 2008, as an initiative led by Community Works in collaboration with the San Francisco Children of Incarcerated Parents Partnership (SFCIPP) and the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. One Family offers parent/child contact visits to every eligible parent incarcerated in San Francisco County Jails. The primary goal of One Family is to provide meaningful, frequent, and consistent opportunities for children to remain connected to their parents during a stressful time. Subsequent goals of the program are to: identify the number of incarcerated parents impacted by the San Francisco Justice system; reduce the trauma to children associated with separation due to parental incarceration; address the structural and cultural barriers that limit family reintegration for parents who are incarcerated; and to connect with other community based organizations to provide the most comprehensive services for families both in-custody and in the community for parents, caregivers and children.

One Family seeks a Part-Time Lead Clinician who will be responsible for managing the One Family in-custody services at County Jail #2/4.
