Program Statement
Project Worx is a transformative initiative by Project Returning Citizen, focused on creating sustainable business enterprises that are dedicated to employing reentering citizens.
Recognizing the critical role that stable employment plays in successful reintegration, Project Worx is committed to providing meaningful job opportunities that enable individuals to rebuild their lives, gain financial independence, and contribute positively to their communities.
The program operates by establishing and managing businesses specifically designed to hire and support reentering citizens. Through these enterprises, participants not only receive employment but also benefit from on-the-job training, skill development, and mentorship. This holistic approach ensures that each individual is equipped with the tools and experience necessary to thrive in the workforce and pursue long-term career goals.
Beyond just employment, Project Worx fosters a sense of purpose and belonging for its participants, helping them transition from lives marked by incarceration to becoming valuable, contributing members of society. By focusing on creating opportunities and reducing barriers to employment, Project Worx is making a significant impact on reducing recidivism and strengthening the social and economic fabric of communities.
