Google Reentry Tech Jobs Program aims to connect Returning Citizens to middle-income and entry-level jobs at Google by building on the Urban League’s existing connection to Returning Citizens and the tech industry.  The URTJP provides comprehensive wrap-around services and financial support to reduce participation attrition and increase enrollment into higher education to meet (or arrive as close as possible) minimum education requirements for entry-level positions. 

The White House Has Declared April As Second Chance Month

The White House has declared April as Second Chance Month. This is an opportunity for us all to recognize the barriers faced by justice-impacted individuals and the comprehensive support needed for them to re-enter society safely and successfully.

On April 25-26th, the National Urban League will bring together affiliates that provide reentry programs to share their best practices, learn alongside one another and recommit resources and services to support people as they work to reach their full potential.

Speakers will include the President and CEO of the National Urban League, Marc H. Morial, Honorable Judge Sawyer from the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, and Chester Hollman III, who works for the Pennsylvania Innocence Project and the Urban League of Philadelphia.
