April is Second Chance Month which highlights the importance of helping individuals, communities, and agencies appreciate their role in supporting the safe and successful reentry of millions of people returning from incarceration each year. Goodwill of NEPA is a proud participant in the First Step Act Initiative which awarded federal grant funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry to Pennsylvania Goodwill agencies across the state. The ReSTART Statewide Reentry Program helps participants restore confidence and financial independence, successfully transition back to their communities, and positively contribute to Pennsylvania’s workforce. We’re excited to work with other Goodwill agencies and local employers and agencies to reduce recidivism and prepare individuals for success in employment! The First Step Act Initiative: ReSTART Statewide Reentry project is 100% funded by federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Rapid Response funds. $0. and 0% of these awards will be funded by other sources.

We're thrilled to partner with The Recovery Bank on our *FREE* Job Club! The Job Club helps individuals who are currently in recovery and seeking a job develop their skills, overcome barriers, and access resources for their job search. Goodwill's certified Employment Specialists will guide job-seekers through the process! The Club meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at The Recovery Bank and advance RSVP is recommended, but not required. Sign-up at The Recovery Bank or by calling 570-880-7901. #GoodwillofNEPA #WeDoGoodTogether
