It has been an honor and a privilege to work with system-involved youth and adults for over 15 years, focusing on workforce readiness and employment.
I am deeply passionate about helping people turn their lives around, and I firmly believe that opportunity and second chances are essential in doing so.
As the Director of Programs at HIRE, I am proud to support individuals in changing their lives by helping them secure meaningful employment.
Please consider joining me in supporting HIRE in fulfilling its mission today, on Giving Day!
HIRE exists to support individuals returning from incarceration as they rebuild their lives—through employment, stability, and community.
Over the past year, we’ve grown rapidly to meet the need. Every day, we are working with individuals navigating some of the most complex barriers: housing instability, gaps in employment, behavioral health challenges, and the realities of reentry.
And we’ve built a model that works.
But growth comes with a cost.
As demand increases, so does the need for staffing, infrastructure, and the resources required to continue delivering meaningful, consistent support. Like many nonprofits, we are navigating a funding landscape that has not kept pace with the level of need.
Giving Day is not just about expanding this work—it’s about sustaining it.
Your support helps ensure that individuals do not lose access to the services, guidance, and opportunities they need to move forward.
💥 The first $17,500 will be matched by our partners, Swinerton Builders, CalOptima, Caring Path Foundation, Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial and Bomel Construction
💥 Your gift today has double the impact
This is a moment to step in, stand behind this work, and help ensure it continues.
If not now, when. If not us, who.
