About this organization
Mission
Project Return's mission is to provide services and connect people with resources needed to return successfully to work and community after incarceration.
About
Job readiness program and wraparound services: Every week, Project Return conducts a 2.5-day course that equips our participants with the soft skills needed to be successful in the workplace. For people being released from prison and returning to the community, this program provides skills, individualized support, and opportunities to find and keep a job. Our curriculum incorporates financial literacy, relapse prevention, and digital literacy. Completion of our job readiness classes leads to a structured day of individualized assistance, including resume development, mock interviewing, and job search planning. During class completion day, Project Return staff evaluates and address participants' immediate, critical needs, providing wraparound supportive services such as: purchasing birth certificates and photo IDs; housing assistance in the form of referrals and stipends; paying for medical, dental, and vision exams; bus passes and food bags; and tools and clothing for work. Additional programs at Project Return include child support services, job retention services, hard skills training courses, and an entrepreneurship program.
