We are excited to announce that the ViaPath Foundation has opened the 2025 grant application window!

Learn more and apply here: https://hubs.la/Q02-PnDP0 Researchers estimate that as many as three-quarters of individuals in prison have minor children and that 11% of children in the U.S. experience parental incarceration at least once during their childhoods. “Ensuring that the family unit stays strong is a key step toward reducing recidivism. Incarceration of loved ones has a heartbreaking effect on the lives of young people across the nation. The non-profits we support help youth find stability and hope to break free from the incarceration cycle.” Shirley Moore Smeal, Board Chair of the ViaPath Foundation

Thank you for highlighting our work, Harvard Business School ❤️
“Tech startups are so concentrated in a small number of places with a small number of types of people, so there’s innovation that doesn’t happen.” – Paul Gompers, Eugene Holman Professor of Business Administration at HBS In a new case, Professor Gompers highlights the story of Honest Jobs, a startup tackling hiring challenges for justice-involved individuals. Founded by Harley Blakeman, Honest Jobs addresses the economic and social gaps experienced by one in three working Americans with criminal records. The case explores key questions for investors and entrepreneurs: 👉 How do we expand access to entrepreneurship geographically and socially? 👉 How can innovation thrive in underserved communities?

Here’s a quote from an Honest Jobs user who found their first jobs after prison through our platform, then a few weeks later found a better job (also through us). “On September 11th, I was released on parole in Oklahoma. I was able to get my first job because of HonestJobs, I waited until I had been out of prison for approximately a week to ensure that all my registration, court fines, and fees were in order. I applied at Pilot Flying J and was accepted as a Cashier. Additionally, I applied at Georgia Pacific for several jobs and was interviewed after being out of prison for five weeks. Approximately seven weeks after making parole, I was formally offered a position at Georgia Pacific, which I will start next week. I will be a converting Technician earning $21.50 per hour initially. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your efforts and support.” #Reentry #Reentry2030 #FairChanceHiring #HonestJobs
