Supporting Second Chances with the ReEntry Program Finder

At the Florida Young Foundation, we are dedicated to empowering individuals who are reintegrating into society after incarceration. We believe everyone deserves a second chance and access to resources that support their journey toward a positive and productive future. As part of our commitment, we are excited to offer a new tool on our website—the interactive ReEntry Program Finder from CareerOneStop.

How the ReEntry Program Finder Supports Those Reintegrating After Incarceration

This powerful tool allows individuals to find local programs specifically tailored to assist those reentering society. The ReEntry Program Finder provides access to a variety of services, including:

  • Job Training and Employment Opportunities: Helping individuals gain valuable skills and secure employment is a critical step in building a stable and fulfilling life.
  • Educational Resources: Many programs offer GED prep, vocational training, and other educational opportunities, equipping individuals with knowledge and qualifications for success.
  • Support Services: Beyond job training and education, many programs offer counseling, legal assistance, and mentorship to help individuals navigate their reentry journey successfully.

How the Florida Young Foundation Provides Support

The Florida Young Foundation is committed to creating a community of support for those seeking a fresh start. Our foundation offers:

  • Guidance and Mentorship: We connect individuals with mentors who understand the challenges of reentry and can provide encouragement, practical advice, and support.
  • Life Skills Training: From financial literacy to effective communication, we offer training that equips individuals with essential skills for everyday life.
  • Advocacy and Resources: We advocate for second chances and work to ensure our community has access to the programs and resources needed to build a brighter future.

Our new ReEntry Program Finder widget is part of our ongoing mission to break down barriers and help individuals rebuild their lives. By providing this tool, we aim to make it easier for individuals to find the support they need for a fresh start and a positive reentry experience.
