Just a few minutes ago, one of the #CleanSlate bills TCJE and our partners are supporting was passed on second reading in the Texas House! 🎉

What happens next? The bill will have one more vote in the House ("third reading") and then move to the Senate side #txlege

There is high demand for individuals who have trained for a skilled trade. At Youth With Faces, we introduce our students to a variety of career pathways so they can find the one that works for them. #secondchancesmatter

Minna Long found support, community, and a career she loves as a result of her participation in a pre-apprenticeship program run by @WACorrections while she was incarcerated. #SecondChanceMonth

We absolutely agree! All juvenile residents should have the opportunity to gain work skills. Just yesterday, our students put their classroom lessons to work, running a catering event for almost 100 people. They were true professionals! https://t.co/sl0xf5hI1T

Access to transportation and opportunity is critical for residents to overcome barriers. "Why is Joppa still waiting for a safe crossing? A pedestrian bridge is behind schedule, but DART rides arrive at last." https://t.co/SRD6gHCoAt
