Urban Alchemy

Urban Alchemy employs former long-term offenders as "Urban Alchemy practitioners" to provide clean and safe public facilities in Urban areas, currently san francisco and los angeles. Urban Alchemy aims to provide opportunities for former long-term offenders and to reduce recidivism and simultaneously transform the energy of the most chaotic places in Urban environments.urban Alchemy practitioners work in interim housing facilities and other Urban spaces that are most impacted by the intersection of homelessness, addiction, and mental illness. Depending on the particular assignment, Urban Alchemy practitioners' services range from cleaning the streets, to monitoring a public bathroom, to ensure the elevators in the bart station are safe and clean for (see schedule o) passengers with disabilities, small children and strollers, and luggage. As a result of these services, local communities have expressed significantly cleaner, safer Urban environments. Urban Alchemy practitioners also feel better connected to their communities and are empowered to continue as productive, happy, and healthy members of society.
