Reintegrating into society post-release from jail is a daunting challenge, especially for those without independent living experience. Our program tackles this issue head-on by offering vocational training, educational workshops, and entrepreneurship courses to ex-convicts. We lay emphasis on technology-based trades and instruct them on navigating the hiring process in compliance with EEOC guidelines. Additionally, we collaborate with probation and parole officers, rehabilitation centers, and the court system to propagate the importance of second chances and curb crime in our communities.
