The Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) seeks to empower faith-based and community organizations (FBCO) as these organizations help their neighbors enter, succeed and thrive in the workforce. We target those organizations that are trusted institutions providing valuable services but that may not be partnering with government programs.

To accomplish this mission, we work to remove administrative and regulatory barriers and develop innovative programs to foster partnerships between DOL-funded programs and FBCOs. We educate organizations about local opportunities to collaborate with and about opportunities to participate in national grant programs. We also work with local government officials and administrators to integrate faith-based and community organizations into the strategic planning and service delivery processes of local Workforce Investment Boards.
