History
CEO is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. For more than 30 years, CEO's goal has been to provide immediate, comprehensive and effective employment services for men and women returning from incarceration.
CEO began as a demonstration project of the Vera Institute of Justice in the 1970s to address employment barriers facing the formerly incarcerated following release. In 1996, CEO became an independent nonprofit organization, providing comprehensive employment services to people newly released from New York State prisons and detention facilities. in its decade as an independent nonprofit CEO made 10,000 job placements for formerly incarcerated persons into full-time employment. CEO maintains the distinction of being the only organization in New York City to offer immediate employment during the critical first days after release from jail and prison.
One of CEO's major strengths is its ongoing relationships with other organizations in the criminal justice, workforce development, and social service fields.
