Fresh StartREENTRY
Second chances, done right

Get hired.
Stay hired.

We help people coming home find a job and keep it. A real person checks in every week for the first 6 months, so small problems never cost someone their job.

People come home ready to work, then hit the same walls. No ID. No ride. No phone. No one to call. Most help stops the day they get hired. We stay.

How it works

Simple, personal, and always free for the people we serve.

01

Get ready

ID and paperwork, a strong one-page resume, and real interview practice.

02

Get hired

We connect you to employers who hire people with records, for the kind of work you want.

03

Stay hired

A weekly check-in for 6 months. Rides, schedules, a tough boss. We help you work it out.

Why Fresh Start exists

I started Fresh Start Reentry in High Point because I kept hearing the same thing from people coming home: getting a job was hard, but keeping it was harder. Nobody was checking in after day one. So that's what we do.

Yes. That's exactly who we're here for. We connect people with employers who hire people with records.

Where do you work?

Programs can start with a free pilot for up to 5 people. Employers get ready candidates and one person to call if anything comes up. Call or text us to start.
