Jericho is a workforce development program that assists male ex-offenders who are returning to the community and are motivated to participate in job training and placement. Jericho is currently developing ways to expand their potential cli­ent base by providing offerings to specific neighborhoods which have high levels of need. The program serves over 200 men a year and has a successful employment rate ranging from 58% to 69%. Jericho educates potential employers about the benefits of working with ex-offenders, such as tax credits and the Federal Bonding program and the support of the Jericho case management staff. Volunteer opportunities include: Wednesday dinner service and technology education classes.
