Jobs and Opportunities Community Challenge: Record Sealing and Employment Access – Pennsylvania

The Promise is seeking partners for the Jobs and Opportunities Community Challenge, focused on record sealing and employment access.

Donor Name: The Promise

State: Pennsylvania

City: Philadelphia

Type of Grant: Challenge

Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 01/14/2022

Size of the Grant: $200,000-$400,000

Grant Duration: 12 months

Details:

This is the second in a series of Community Challenges under a first-of-its-kind public-private anti-poverty program created to produce efficient, community-based, and scalable results.

The Jobs and Opportunity Community Challenge: Record Sealing and Employment Access will combat poverty by removing barriers to employment.  This is in direct response to the more than 400,000 Philadelphians with arrest and conviction records.  These Philadelphians face many obstacles returning to the workforce including limitations on credentialing and licensure and policies precluding them from certain positions and employers.

The Challenge will specifically focus on partnerships with deep community reach and/or legal expertise.  Community Hub grantees will collaborate on outreach and engagement and host record sealing and clearing clinics.  Legal Services grantees will provide direct services such as awareness about Clean Slate laws, identifying records eligible for sealing or expungement, filing petitions to help seal or clear past records, and support for seeking and securing employment.

The Record Sealing & Employment Access Community Challenge is made up of two unique but mutually reliant grant opportunities, each with distinct goals, deliverables, and expectations.
