The Fair Chances Employment Pipeline Project is a collaboration between the John Howard Society of London and District (JHSLD), John Howard Society of Ontario, and Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes (Goodwill), that helps individuals with criminal records overcome systemic barriers to employment and build sustainable career paths. JHSLD will identify 30 individuals with criminal records who are “job ready” and provide them with wraparound supports, including housing assistance, mental health services, and criminal justice support. These participants will then be referred to Goodwill for job readiness training, before being hired for meaningful roles within Goodwill’s London operations.

This program is funded by the London Community Foundation.
