Workforce

A genuine way back — through real work.

Our reentry employment model puts returning citizens on paid crews that rebuild St. Louis neighborhoods.

Our model

Paid crews. Peer mentors. Real skills.

Our crews are made up of men and women returning from incarceration. They staff our Secure & Stable and Prevention Desk work — securing vacant buildings, cleaning out properties, and helping keep at-risk homes in good order.

  • Real wages

    Crew members are paid employees. Jobs are jobs.

  • Peer mentoring

    Crews are peer-led, with experienced members guiding newer ones.

  • On-the-job learning

    A learn-by-doing approach builds practical trade skills.

  • A way back home

    Meaningful work in the very neighborhoods crew members call home.
