The Last Mile Expansion Initiative

Model and Strategy

The Last Mile's (TLM) Entrepreneurship and Computer Training Programs teach marketable skills that lead to employment. Upon release, grads earn paid internships in our business partner network. Participants have unanimously confirmed that TLM is one of the most powerful and productive programs ever offered in a correctional facility.

TLM's Expansion Project will address the complexities of re-entry both during incarceration, and after release with programs designed to provide graduates with gainful employment and personal stability.

Impact

Serve a minimum of 200 incarcerated individuals

Placement of all TLM released graduates in gainful internships and full time employment

Build partnerships with 50 new companies to hire returning citizens

Create a template to replicate and scale TLM, through branching, licensing, chapter formation, and other alternatives

Expand volunteer mentor network to 200 working professionals to strengthen the bridge from incarceration to freedom

Reduce recidivism and prison-spending to show the macro impact of investing in successful re-entry
