Unlock Potential, a first chance hiring program built by the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice with help from Ben & Jerry’s, will give career opportunities to those most likely to end up incarcerated.
Among these, Ben & Jerry’s today announced its participation in Unlock Potential, a first of its kind employment program for young people who are most vulnerable. According to the creators of the program, this initiative will enable “hiring to advance racial equity, recruit the next generation of corporate leaders, and help disrupt the poverty-to-prison pipeline.”
Our greatest asset is our staff. Our team cares deeply about their work, our participants and is a wealth of knowledge. Plus they are pretty amazing humans as well. Meet the faces of Persevere.

An estimated 60 percent of those leaving prison are unemployed a year later. But after a push for “second-chance hiring,” some programs show promise.
