RE: The FairCosa Foundation - Introducing the Board - Kimberly Hlafka

in #charity6 years ago

Thanks for your interest. :-)

Yes, I am involved with The FairCosa Foundation. I'm a founding member of the board of directors. You can learn a little more about what we do here. You can also find us on Facebook using @faircosafoundation.

Basically, we are a brand new non-profit organization. Our mission is to help people (incarcerated individuals, military veterans, homeless folks, etc.) reenter society.

Our first program is set to launch by July of 2019. We will work inside the local prison to provide job training services to a select group of inmates. Upon their release, we will provide housing and an internship for them as well as continuing mental health services to help them readjust to life as a reinstated citizen.

Because Matthew is in the transportation and logistics industry, this initial program will focus on providing training in those fields. Successful participants will complete the program with certificates in transportation logistics, brokering, and a year's worth of experience which they can use to continue working with our partner company, or they can take to another company in the industry.
