About Us

Hello, we’re Potential

We're working to secure employment and security for those exiting the criminal justice system. We partner with community nonprofits, agencies, and employers to facilitate the entire re-entry process.

Our Vision

There already exist a wide range of employers interested in hiring the formerly incarcerated as well as strong, freshly-renewed financial incentives to expand the employer pool. As well, there are numerous localized nonprofits — and, in most cases, actual detention centers — invested in the re-entry process.

What’s missing is a bridge between these pillars that can be easily applied to any community while still respecting the re-entry work that already goes on in such communities. Potential acts as this bridge: a platform that existing nonprofit networks work directly with in connecting their clients with opportunity, and that an ever-increasing list of employers can use to find employees that help them benefit financially and culturally.
