Workforce Development & Adult Education

As a program participant, you will engage with our Financial Opportunity Center (FOC) where we assist low-income families in stabilizing their long-term financial perspective by providing basic services through three areas: employment coaching and career improvement, financial coaching and training, and access to public benefits. These basic services are integrated and provided together to clients in order to reinforce each other and to provide a multi-faceted approach to building income and wealth.

Our Workforce Coaches will work together with you to help you determine your employment and educational goals and what steps can be taken to help you reach them. Our programs empower individuals to explore career pathways and set short and long-term career goals, build a resume, practice interview skills, and network with employer partners.

KC VITA Tax Preparation

Our free KCVITA (Kansas City Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program helps hundreds of low- to moderate-income households with basic income tax return preparation every year. Our IRS-certified volunteers work hard to ensure families keep more of their hard-earned money by connecting eligible individuals to Federal and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC).

Our KC VITA Program runs from February to April. If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact us at 816.421.1015 or email us at workforce@guadalupecenters.org.
