Prison to Employment (P2E)
Currently NOO serves as the Supportive Service Org in partnership with South Bay Workforce Investment Board (SBWIB)/ Inglewood AJCC, Boyle Heights AJCC and Southeast Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board(SELECO) AJCC. These P2E monies provide an opportunity for individuals with a history of incarceration to attain vocational training, education, career counseling and much more.
In Partnership with Friends Outside Los Angeles (FOLA), NOO supports 2 grants. 1) Prison to Payroll (P2P) in which NOO offers the education component if needed as well as workshops on mental health wellness and counseling for participants. The mental health workshop focuses on supporting recently released Parolees to engage in discussion regarding their experience during incarceration on their mental and emotional health as well as to offer encouragement and resources to promote self-care and positive coping. 2) Warm Hand Off (WHO) through the Department of Corrections, NOO supports with the education component and counseling and or mental health referrals as needed.
