Scaling What Works
CEO is meeting this moment with an ambitious five-year scaling strategy — a plan to expand what’s working, strengthen reentry nationwide, and transform how our country supports people coming home from incarceration.
Over the next five years, CEO will:
Reach 127,000 people returning home from incarceration.
Expand from 12 to 20 states to reach more people in more places.
Unlock $750 million in public investment to make reentry programs sustainable long-term.
This strategy builds on a proven foundation: CEO participants increase their earnings by 123% within six months, and independent research confirms our model reduces parole violations and boosts stability. With immediate paid work, personalized coaching, and career training in high-demand industries, CEO is creating pathways to lasting employment and stronger communities.
Your tax-deductible gift to the Invest in Opportunity campaign directly fuels this plan — helping scale proven solutions, expand access to work and training, and ensure every person returning home has the chance to succeed.
