One of the biggest barriers to employment for justice-involved women is the stigma of a felony conviction. Combined with gender disparities, women with felony records face unique challenges, making them “double minorities” in the labor market.
At The HelpKC, we work to connect women with employers who are willing to look beyond past convictions and focus on the skills and work ethic these women bring to the table. By offering opportunities based on skills, not past mistakes, employers help create a fairer workforce and contribute to long-term community stability.
