Pivot, Inc

Workforce Development 

Grant: $25,000

PIVOT supports women impacted by the criminal justice system, typically through incarceration, with a comprehensive array of services to enable them to reclaim their lives, rejoin their families and reinvigorate their communities.  PIVOT’s Women Re-entry and Workforce Development Program begins with a 6-week pre-release program to initiate re-entry planning and, upon release, continues with a 9-week supportive community program where women can hone their life skills and connect with resources and employment opportunities. This one-of-a-kind, remarkably successful program is funded primarily through government grants which restrict how the funds can be spent. Our grant will help enable PIVOT to fill the gap in funding so that they can continue to provide childcare, transportation and housing to the women they serve.
