The Richmond Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy Chapter is partnering with the Richmond Office of Community Wealth Building to develop a Living Wage Certification program. This is a voluntary certification program designed to recognize and promote employers that pay living wages. The Certification Committee has set $16 or more per hour for the Gold Star Living Wage Certification, $12.50 or more for the Silver Star Living Wage Certification, and $11 or more for the Aspiring Living Wage Certification.
As a result of our work, the "Living Wage Certification Toolkit: Creating & Sustaining A Living Wage Certification Program in Your Community" was developed and is available online here. Please share this valuable resource with your congregations.
