Resources For Human Development Resource Center

First among the values that guide Resources for Human Development is a belief in the fundamental dignity of each human being. At RHD, we know that for many people the opportunity to attain employment is a key element of self-esteem and dignity – so we have made a commitment to helping provide that opportunity, especially to the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.

Brothers' Keepers Hope Improvement is a general contracting program that provides employment to marginalized populations, including ex-offenders and adjudicated youth. Our Lower Merion Vocational Training Center helps individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve greater independence through community employment. At-risk youth find training for various careers in our Chester YouthBuild program.

RHD has long been a leader in providing job training to marginalized and vulnerable populations. Our Partnerships for Employment program is a sweeping jobs-and-training program aimed at helping incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society and stay out of prison. Partnerships for Employment works with individuals in the judicial system to prepare them for employment both as they serve out their sentences and upon their release, helping them build a better future. All the programs listed below assist individuals who are in need of employment and training. Please click on the links for more information.
