Operation New Hope

Working in collaboration with the Department of Corrections, we deliver pre-release services to 30 facilities in Florida. Check out our map - https://operationnewhope.org/our-programs/

A new group of Ready4Work clients start the program every Monday. Ready4Rlease clients receive priority enrollment and may begin the Ready4Work program upon release without waiting.

Incarcerated individuals who have less than 6 months left of their sentence may enroll in the Ready4Release program. For more information, ask your classification officer today or write to us at 1830 North Main Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32206. For anyone interested in our Ready4Work post-release program, we encourage all to apply so we can find the best fit for one of our multiple funding sources. Complete the above form, click the APPLY button on the homepage of this website, or apply in person. Clients must remain drug free and be willing and able to work.

We meet monthly with clients enrolled in our Ready4Release program during the 90 days prior to release to ensure adequate housing, transportation, and job training. Individuals enrolled in our Ready4Work program are provided a full year of wraparound services including case management, mental health counseling, and career coaching. Clients must complete 3 weeks of in-person Career Development curriculum when first enrolled in the Ready4Work program.

We assist with housing, transportation, employment placement, vocational training, basic needs, and vital documents. We encourage anyone interested in our services to contact us to learn more.
