Need Help in Recruiting People of Color?

Having problems in recruiting People of Color for your business?

Please attend the Diversity Career Fairs that's nationwide in the U.S. I participated in those, while I was working for an Asian American newspaper, for their booth.
I suggest that you contact some minority non-profits, government agencies, churches, that help with job Placements. I just know the non-profits in the Seattle area and their Executive directors.
So you can get them for free and not pay an arm and leg to HR / Temp recruiting firms. In Seattle, I have many connections with the Latino, Asian and know where to connect with African Americans too. But still a lot of my contacts in business and my personal life are Whites too.
I grew up in the inner city, (What we refer to as the ghetto) where there was tremendous amount of diversity. But it's no longer a ghetto where my parents still live. We have more neighborhoods that have new housing for low income.

Youth groups is where the aims may gain more momentum.. but it also has to be pushed among "males" between the age of 25-45, this is the earning group who has the resource capability to expand things.

Women on a whole are more invested within social programs, as well as civic organizations be it private or government based or funded, their attendance to participate is far higher than the male population who come out to promote improvements in these areas of programming.

Unless society can get is young males involved, it become a bigger challenge for people as yourself whom seems to work to concern self with improving conditions.

the public as a whole is unaware of the value of HUD's CDBG (Community Development Blog Grants ) programs, many of which is the catalysis of low income housing, sustainable community and choice neighborhood developments for the challenged, dis-advantaged and the below the median income levels. The public remained silent as much of CDBG funding was dramatically cut. People are politically unconcerned, and even more so unaware that being politically informed is to be informed about what happens within society, and to be politically involved is to not just vote, but keep writing these politicians. I write them all the time, but the problem is, many people will not sign a letter nor will they even mail a pre-formatted latter, so the politicians do what they want to do, or only what the wealthy want them to do, because the common people are too reluctant to understand the value of signed petitions and group signed letters to force the politicians to act.

Unfortunately the public is selectively ignorant to the full scope of CDBG, many people think it only helps the poor and minorities, but they fail to realize that many professions gain a great deal of their revenue from CDBG programming, it is how many of the Executive Directors of Programs funded by CDBG are paid, many of the housing professions are paid, who engage building these units and the many other services which provide public service to the community.
If CDBG was abolished, many professional would find themselves closing their business.

I wrote an article locally trying to awaken people to the benefits the whole of the city gains from these programs, but people choose to remain ignorant and filled with a bias which denies them the interest to learn.

If you could get some degree title holders and University Professors to get off their high horse and endorse some youth motivation concept, then you could utilize their status as a mans to support getting to schools to open the young minds.
Unfortunately many of these people only want to assist if they can get a plug and promotion or some plaque they can hang on their wall.

HR firms are more related to promoting the University program, because they are by some ways connected to this arm as being their marketing tool for the degrees they issue.

Some of my friends are Executive Directors of non-profits that help low income immigrant populations for medical, ESL, job training courses, etc.
