Love this program out of Baltimore called YAPWORX. When people are released from incarceration, ESPECIALLY young people, finding employment is incredibly difficult. YAPWORX is a youth program aimed at alleviating this issue by actively helping arm former inmates with the tools and soft skills to find gainful employment. I often wonder if I would hire a former convicted criminal. I think seeing a graduate of a program like YAPWORX would help alleviate some of my concerns. Would you hire somebody from this program? Please think about sharing this post to get the word out about this incredible program. http://www.yapinc.org/YAPWORX
