Update Regarding the Center's Services:

At the Day Worker Center of Mountain View, we take the health and safety of our members, staff, volunteers and employers who use the Center’s services very seriously. While we have been operating at a hybrid and distanced capacity for some time now, we know there's nothing quite like coming together in person. While following updates and guidelines from Santa Clara County, we are excited to announce we are opening our doors for in-person services starting April 3, 2023. 

According to the most recent update of March 30, 2023, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reports a low community level in COVID cases and hospitalizations in Santa Clara County. We will continue to monitor and follow any updates and guidelines from the County but we are very grateful to be able to come together once again. 

As of April 3, 2023, compañeres will be onsite at the Center ready to go to a job site. We will be offering in person ESL (English as a Second Language) classes, as well as trainings and healthy meals. Even though we encourage employers to call ahead or fill out an online form to reserve a worker, they can now stop by as well. 

If you have any questions, please give us a call at (650) 903-4102 at any time. If it is outside of our operating hours, please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also send us an email at info@dayworkercentermv.org

We thank you for your support and understanding. We are very happy to welcome you back to the Center.

Job Placement safety measures

In accordance with Santa Clara County guidelines:

• Starting April 3, 2023, reliable workers ready to serve will be on site at the Center ready to go out for work. 

• We strongly encourage employers to call or fill out an online form in advance to ensure there is a worker with the skills the job requires. However, walk-ins are also now accepted or feel free to stop by and say hi!  

• Employers can pick up and drop off workers at the Center. However, if preferred, we can also arrange transportation through shared ride services if the worker cannot arrive at the job site. 

• In addition, all staff, workers, and volunteers will be required to take a weekly COVID test as an extra level of precaution. 

• In order to minimize risk, we ask that workers, employers and volunteers wear a face mask when inside the Center. When going to a job site if the employer prefers masks to be worn and would like the worker to wear one as well, please let us know and we can provide them.

Masking Up

When it comes to masking up against COVID-19, do what you can to level up your protection!

Having one surgical mask provides good protection, but there are ways to power up your mask game even more. A well-fitting mask is not the only important layer of protection against COVID-19, the method of masking is, too.
