We imagine a world where every returning citizen will one day have a fair chance and not live trapped in invisible shackles. We want to build a just justice system where everyone can access the resources needed to thrive.
We know we can’t do that alone.
At FreeWorld, we don't just partner—we transform the reentry ecosystem together. Our collaborative approach drives measurable impact with each organization we work alongside, united by a singular mission: breaking the cycle of recidivism for good.
Government Partnerships (Workforce Partners)
Partner Interest FormThe American Workforce System faces rigid funding and limited resources, making it challenging to serve job seekers with complex barriers—especially Returning Citizens. Many workforce partners lack the tools, processes, and outreach to do so effectively, leading to missed opportunities to connect skilled, motivated Returning Citizens with in-demand careers.
That’s where FreeWorld comes in. FreeWorld is a no-cost technical operating partner for the American Workforce System, helping to serve returning citizens more effectively and produce quality outcomes. We’ve built technology that streamlines the eligibility and case management process for returning citizens who face barriers to work.

FreeWorld’s Successful Partnership with Jefferson County Business & Workforce Center
Jefferson County Business & Workforce Center’s (JeffCo) flexible and creative collaboration with FreeWorld has resulted in FreeWorld’s most successful workforce partnership to date. Our model in Jefferson County has provided valuable lessons for other Workforce Partners seeking to fully leverage FreeWorld’s offerings to better serve returning citizens.
Since its founding in 2018, FreeWorld has achieved an 85% placement rate for CDL-A earners and generated $38.7M in recidivism cost savings. Under the partnership with JeffCo, these outcomes have been even stronger, with 89% of shared clients earning their CDL-A license.
JeffCo’s success stems from its willingness to rethink and redesign traditional workforce processes to reduce barriers for returning citizens and seamlessly integrate FreeWorld’s program.
