Help CIELO Clients Earn Their Way To A Better Future

At the event John Hobson, our CEO, shared about how far CIELO has come since we were launched in 2015, from a program serving one small neighborhood to now serving low-income people throughout Orange County and beyond, thanks to the help of our incredible supporters. Since 2015, CIELO has served over 2,000 low-income Orange County community members through our entrepreneurship and workforce development workshops. This video was shared at the event and showcases CIELO’s growth over the past three years.
As we look to the future, we know that the demand for our services is greater than what we are currently serving, so we will be expanding to help serve that demand. Next years event will be even bigger as we continue to meet new and exciting entrepreneurs. Thank you to everyone that attended. Enjoy the photos below!
