April is #SecondChanceMonth, a time to recognize and support justice-impacted individuals who are reentering society.
Did you know that 1 in 3 American adults has a criminal record? This can create challenges when it comes to employment, housing, and education. The Columbus Urban League is committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity and access to succeed—regardless of their past.
Their programming focuses on removing obstacles and providing essential support through job readiness initiatives and career placement services. Through their My Brother’s Closet collaboration with Goodwill Columbus and our partnership with Dress for Success Columbus, we are helping job seekers look and feel prepared to enter the job market.
Together, we’re helping individuals gain the skills, confidence, and resources they need to thrive and contribute to our community’s growth and prosperity. Because when everyone has a second chance, we all rise.
