Why Work with Dreamcatchers?
Dreamcatchers has been providing employment services for more than 26 years and we are happy to answer any questions you might have and provide you with references. Our services are offered throughout Butte, Contra Costa, Fresno, Kern, Napa, Placer, Sacramento, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.
Dreamcatchers fights stigma and reduces the barriers to employment that many people with disabilities and limitations face in seeking employment.

How we work
Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network is dedicated to serving individuals in a collaborative manner, with a network of other agencies. Dreamcatchers services are directed at assisting individuals to prepare for, choose, obtain, and retain employment. Services are tailored to an individual's strengths, resources, priorities, needs, abilities, interests and informed choices.
We assess our clients' employment strengths and weaknesses within a supportive and controlled environment; measure basic work skills, behaviors and interpersonal skills in a simulated environment; and provide specific training and tools in order make them employable in the competitive marketplace.
We work closely with several community-based organizations to provide consistent services. We value the relationships established by collaborating with other community partners to provide a continuum of wrap-around services to individuals needing support within the community. Building relationships with employers is a critical component to the success in achieving our outcomes. Not only do we support the clients with whom we are working, but we also provide support to employers to sustain those valuable relationships.
