The first step in becoming a Denver Day Works participant is to attend an orientation. Orientations are on non-holiday Mondays from 1pm-3pm at Bayaud Enterprises, 303 W Bayaud Ave.

Please note: Because the Denver Day Works program has limited capacity, there may be a wait list for participation.

Denver Day Works participants work one day a week (Tuesday-Thursday) for 10 weeks. The six-hour work experience is from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., starting and ending in Civic Center Park.

For each day of work, participants will receive:

• Breakfast and lunch
• $90 cash
• An RTD bus ticket

Additionally, each participant will meet for 30-60 minutes with an employment specialist and/or assistance navigator.

There are a number of ways to partner with Denver Day Works and support the program. If you would like to advertise a job opening to Denver Day Works participants, to participate in a hiring event, or to staff a short-term project with a Denver Day Works crew, or if you have general questions, contact Frank Cordova at frank.cordova@bayaudenterprises.org or 303-830-6885.
