Charlene Eisenberg
Activist • Mother • Grandmother • Great-Grandmother • Fighter for Justice
Charlene Eisenberg was an extraordinary woman whose life was dedicated to fighting for those who needed it most. She was not only a beloved mother, treasured grandmother, and great-grandmother, but also a passionate activist who devoted her life to advocating for people with severe mental illness.
Her groundbreaking work led to national recognition when she received an award from President Clinton for her exceptional contributions through Jobs Unlimited, a charity she founded. This innovative organization helped individuals with severe mental illness transition from hospital settings by providing crucial employment opportunities and housing support. Today, you can support our mission with a donation or join our community of advocates.
Charlene understood that true healing required more than medical treatment—it required dignity, opportunity, and community support. Her vision transformed countless lives and created pathways to independence for those society had often forgotten.
