A Second Chance for Formerly Incarcerate People
I am specifically working to solve the disparities of formerly incarcerated people in my own state of Massachusetts and beyond. I developed a website and I also hope to expand with a greater reach and ultimately offer resources and encouragement for formerly incarcerated people. The focus is on education and steps to expunge their criminal records including drug related crimes. I also aim to provide resources to enable those with a criminal past to successfully rejoin their communities and thrive.
The goal is to help marginalized communities, and people disproportionately arrested for drug crimes. Through educational campaigns to the public, on the statistical data of inequities, we hope to bring decrease these disparities in the future.
The solution is to bring education to the public through statical data of marginalized communities and disproportionate arrest date to minority groups as well as resources to assist previously incarcerated people to reintegrate back into their communities.
This will be done through building the website reach and social media reach as well as remote videos and public campaigns.
The target population is previously incarcerated people and marginalized groups disproportionately arrested for crimes.
Healing Through Wellness is the right team to develop this solution as we already have our non-profit established, social media page set up as well as a website with our targeted education and resources. We can seamlessly grow our reach to our intended communities through funding that will enable us to expand website and social media platform. We need the resources to expand our reach and to be more present in marginalized communities.

We need to expand our technology and reach into marginalized communities so we need help with the technology. We also need help with our social media reach so we need social media campaign experts to assist us with that. We also need funding resources to develop our educational curriculum and website platform.

As a fairly new non-profit I do not yet have revenue experience. I have mostly been the one setting goals and carrying out the missions on my own. I am aware that I need more help to reach goals and this would be a wonderful opportunity.
