Living Wage Coalition of Central Virginia

The Living Wage Coalition of Central Virginia Certification Program is an initiative of the Charlottesville Chapter of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy and is part of Living Wage Virginia. The Living Wage Certification Program is a voluntary process that recognizes employers who are already paying their workers a living wage, urges consumers to patronize area businesses that pay living wages, and encourages employers who are not currently paying a living wage to raise wages to meet the program’s thresholds.
