#ReturningStrong

Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) offers individuals returning home from incarceration the ongoing support necessary to build career capital and financial stability. We believe that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves the chance to work toward a stronger future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

As the largest reentry employment provider in the country, CEO is using our scale, experience, and data – backed by our participants’ feedback on what works – to change the way government invests in criminal justice and workforce development.

At What Cost?’ is a campaign that exposes the staggering economic and societal toll of mass incarceration–and calls for what we know works: investments in reentry services and direct financial support for people returning from incarceration.
