Furthermore, we founded our partner nonprofit The Liberty Fund to champion bail reform while providing charitable bail and release on recognizance services.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She continued, \u201cBut more must still be done. To end the school-to-prison pipeline and address lack of economic opportunity, upstream investments must be made into communities of color that have been neglected for generations. These include the services we provide alongside jobs, education, infrastructure, and the repeal of inequitable drug and sentencing laws.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The courses supported with this donation are from the organization\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Ready, Willing &amp; Able&nbsp;<\/em>reentry program for homeless and formerly incarcerated men. Participants begin by working on cleaning crews across 115 miles of NYC streets daily before transitioning to career training tracks.&nbsp;<em>Ready, Willing &amp; Able<\/em>&nbsp;participants also receive housing, computer literacy training, adult education, and comprehensive social services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The culinary arts program is a 12-week course consisting of foundational kitchen techniques followed by a Chef in Training class taught by NYC chefs. The skilled trade programs\u2014currently available for welding and carpentry, with more fields on the horizon\u2014consist of 5-15 week courses multiple times per year, which establish the fundamentals of these trades before transitioning participants to apprenticeships and, later, to union memberships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to support the great work of the The Doe Fund and their groundbreaking&nbsp;<em>Ready, Willing &amp; Able&nbsp;<\/em>residential program,\u201d said Karen Kelso, Senior Director, Corporate Social Responsibility, Sony Corporation of America. \u201cOur contribution will enable men with long histories of incarceration, homelessness and unemployment successfully reintegrate into society and&nbsp; improve their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy introducing courses for skilled trades facing deep hiring shortages, we can provide a reliable pathway to upwardly mobile jobs, union membership, comprehensive benefits, and job security,\u201d said Jennifer Dillon, Vice President of Workforce Development at The Doe Fund. \u201cSony\u2019s contribution will help us further innovate our curriculum towards sectors that are more resistant to economic ebbs and flows, such as by pivoting our culinary arts training to include job placements in institutional kitchens and emergency food delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, NY\u2014\u00a0The Doe Fund announced that it received a $350,000 donation from Sony Corporation of America (SCA), which will go to supporting the nonprofit\u2019s commitment to ending mass incarceration while supporting its new culinary arts and skilled trade job training programs.
