Thirteen years ago, Jeremy Jones had three pending felony charges for grand theft, larceny, and organized crime. He couldn’t get a job. Now, he helps others with criminal backgrounds get work.
, Jones and his team provide workforce development and job placement, re-entry supportive services, food program and financial assistance, and mentorship. The goal is to help formerly incarcerated people transition back into the community and succeed.
"Sometimes I have individuals that come into the office, and they don’t believe that I have a criminal background, they don’t believe I was formerly incarcerated, and so if I can give you hope to look at me and say I never knew, I want to make sure you will be able to look at yourself down the line or someone else will be able to look at you and say I wouldn’t have known unless you told me," Jones said.
Jones and his team have helped more than 200 people in the Austin area and hope to make an impact on generations to come. "When I see the help that’s been given, I don’t see just that individual, I see their whole generation because if we can help change them, I can change the trajectory of everyone that’s connected to them and their life," Jones said.that I have read and agree
