Assigned by HCCSCD to startup a new non-profit organization titled "Probation Works". The vision for the non profit was to develop individuals on probation with the correct skills in order for them them to quickly assimilate back to productive members of our community. The non profit also focused on developing employment opportunities, housing options, transportation and child-care to support the vision. One of the key responsibilities was developing strong external relations with the business leaders and nonprofit world. The startup was securing significant traction in the community but the program was put on pause do to funding related issues.
