About Impact Aid
We believe in second chances that lead to real careers, lasting change, and renewed dignity — not just for individuals, but for families, communities, and the workforce as a whole.
Our Story - The Inspiration Behind
Impact Aid
Each year, over 600,000 individuals make the difficult transition from prison back into their communities. Sustainable employment is critical to a successful transition. But formerly incarcerated job seekers face a myriad of obstacles when looking for employment — social stigma, unstable housing, unreliable transportation, and the requirements of their probation or parole. The result is unemployment, homelessness, and, in many cases, rearrest. Impact Aid provides immediate, effective, and comprehensive services to justice-impacted individuals to train, employ, and transform them, their families, and their communities.
That’s why Impact Aid was founded — to close the gap between untapped potential and real opportunity. We saw firsthand how many returning citizens were ready to rebuild but met with closed doors at every turn. We knew the system had to change — and we set out to become part of that change.
Instead of offering hope alone, we built a real pathway forward. By partnering with employers, offering industry-aligned training, and providing hands-on mentorship, we help individuals turn their second chance into lasting success — for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Impact Aid helps justice-impacted individuals rebuild stable, successful careers through training, mentorship, and strategic employer partnerships.
Impact Aid prepares individuals for high-demand careers and connects businesses with motivated, subsidized talent.
We value second chances, dignity through work, and breaking the stigma. Everyone deserves the opportunity to rebuild and contribute.
