Diva / Divo

DIVA/DIVO is a service provided to women and men in poverty that are entering or re-entering the work force.

• All clients must be referred by an agency or organization that is working on job readiness with the client.
• DIVA/DIVO is the last step in that process.
• Client visits are by appointment only and set up with DIVA/DIVO through said agency.
• DIVA/DIVO will accept one referral per client

The service provider must fill out the REFERRAL FORM
and email to Michele Billingsley at michele@diva-divo.org

Please be sure to include all of the requested information.

DIVA/DIVO will email the service provider (usually within 24 hours) and set up a first visit for the client.

• Under Step 2: If the client is a woman, she will be allowed three visits to DIVA over the course of three months. The referring agency sets up the first appointment and DIVA sets up the follow-up appointments with the client.

If the client is a man, he will have one visit to DIVO.

South Side Location (Christ Church): Tuesdays through Thursdays
