While #COVID19 has been difficult for everyone, imagine you are a young person just out of jail or on parole.
During the pandemic, the Compass Rose Collaborative, led by @FHI360, continues to help youth navigate past incarceration.

As anger and heartbreak have swept across America over the killing of yet another black man at the hands of police, CNN and "Sesame Street" are refocusing their second town hall to address racism.

A8. Read and share @FHI360 & @CLASP_DC’s From #SurvivingtoThriving report. It offers programmatic solutions that support second chances. The collection was informed by work from the Compass Rose Collaborative, funded by @USDOL.

#secondchancemonth A7. Employers can also fear returning Vets who have PTSD. Like returning citizens, however they are motivated, have skills and work hard.
A7. Many programs, through @FHI360, @leagueofcities & @TheNYEC, have advocates that provide character & skills references for returning citizens who have completed education/training programs. #SecondChanceMonth
A4. Occupational licensing in certain sectors is not always available for someone with a criminal record; this locks out #fairchance hiring in many industries. #SecondChanceMonth
A3. @FHI360’s partner, @OPP_Helps_Youth helps provide #fairchance hiring for previously incarcerated youth. They hire youth ambassadors and participants from the Compass Rose Collaborative. #SecondChanceMonth
A3: People with criminal records are just that: people. People with skills, people with talents which can benefit any business. Employers I have spoken with say system impacted people are some of their best employees: committed, hard-working and respectful #SecondChanceMonth
A2. @FHI360 leads the Compass Rose Collaborative, comprised of nine communities across the US, providing second chances for work, education and community. Some of our partners include - @OPP_Helps_Youth, @TheRightWay and @TheNYEC.

We dream of return to normality but for millions “normality is cruel enough.” Now is the time to fight for “a reopening where black doesn’t mean sicker, Latino doesn’t mean lower wages, and poor doesn’t mean unreliable food or housing." https://t.co/HbTNGUVbZW via @intelligencer

#SecondChance2020 Offer training to youth behind the walls so they leave with skills to walk into work with access to meaningful high wage jobs. Offer post-release requirements (parole appts, drug tests, etc.) at times that don’t interfere with their education and job schedules.
The focus here should be on equity versus equality. This way the re-entry population can have access to the right program and supportive services, as needed. Again, this can be different for each youth so we need a personalized approach. #SecondChance2020
