Skillful Steps is a tech-enabled nonprofit committed to ending generational poverty and reducing recidivism by creating pathways to economic mobility for individuals returning from incarceration. We help individuals with criminal records launch successful careers in the trucking industry by providing fully covered training and ongoing support to secure higher-paying jobs for up to five years after graduation.
At Skillful Steps, our mission is to eliminate the root causes of generational poverty and recidivism by empowering underserved individuals through life skills education, workforce development, and mentorship. While our primary focus is on supporting individuals reentering society after incarceration, our programs also serve veterans, foster care alumni, and other marginalized groups seeking a pathway to stability and self-sufficiency. We equip participants with the tools, training, and support needed to build purpose-driven, independent lives.
