We are always looking for committed individuals to serve on our Board and to help support our efforts and spread the word about living wages in our community.
The mission of Orange County Living Wage shall be to stimulate shared community prosperity – especially for low-wage workers in Orange County – through employer living wage certification, community education, advocacy, and partnerships.

We’d love to have you!
“Many of our residents have spent their lives working to support education, equal rights, fair wages, and many other issues that impact our society. Carol Woods and the way we address our employees is just a continuation of their own personal mission. Paying a livable wage, helping to lift individuals up out of poverty, is a benefit to the whole community and to our global future.”

“I love telling people that I’m making a living wage. And I think it’s a pretty cool thing because I don’t think there are many cafes that are doing this. Gray Squirrel does not accept tips. It pays all its employees a living wage. They get a consistent paycheck allowing them to budget and pay their bills with confidence.”
