Our Mission: Working together to equip the justice-involved with job skills, dignity and hope.
Our partner-based, personalized program eases the path for people transitioning from incarceration, helping them to lead thriving and fruitful lives as full citizens of the community.
Our vision: A world where all are enabled to find dignity through a stable life and meaningful work.
Our Values:
– Restoration—We are all works in progress. Past challenges are not an indicator of future success.
– Community— We build a supportive and inclusive community, which is a means toward growth and transformation for all involved at WorkWell.
– Compassion— We provide a safe space. We listen, empathize and support each other.
– Commitment— We persist in the face of challenges so participants can overcome theirs.
– Integrity—We keep our word so participants know they have someone they can count on.
