Construction Careers: Let’s Get Connected
Renewed Ambition’s leadership includes union tradespeople who know the building trades from the inside. We use those relationships to help people find a real path into construction careers — and we keep a current list of apprenticeship applications that are open now.
CalFresh (SNAP) work rules
New CalFresh work rules began June 1, 2026. Some adults 18–64 must work, train, or take part in approved activities 20 hours a week to keep CalFresh. Renewed Ambition can help you get job-ready, apply for CalFresh, and connect to CalFresh Employment & Training programs in San Bernardino County. Your CalFresh worker decides which activities count toward your hours — ask the San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance Department before relying on any activity.
