ECH's Center for Employment and Leadership serves primarily Hispanic/Latino residents in Orange County and surrounding areas as well as those seeking to work with, reach, and/or serve this population. Day laborers are the primary beneficiaries of this intervention in that they can secure employment and fair wage through services. Staff serve as mediators and advocates for the workers before employers. Employers that seek workers through CEL are also beneficiaries of the program in that they have a place to connect with skilled workers. Staff ensure workers understand the job to be done, proper worksite safety precautions, and/or all labor related agreements. The general community also benefit in that there is a reduction of individuals loitering at "the corner" contributing to public safety and community appeal. Also, residents of Orange County are also seeking workers from CEL to do small jobs for their homes which present another source of employment for the Day laborers and affordable services for Home owners. Staff connect with day laborers and potential employers through outreach efforts to the corner, neighborhood canvassing, presentations to community groups, social media, and word of mouth. e) Who specifically will carry out the activities and in what location will they be carried out?
