With over 25 years of experience providing reentry services in Florida, Operation New Hope is a leader in the field. United by the belief that we all have the power to change our lives for the better, our Ready4Release, Ready4Work, Ready4Success, and Ready4Change programs address the problems, concerns, and expectations surrounding reentry and employing the formerly incarcerated.
Our dedicated team of case managers, mental health therapists, and career coaches work with participants one-on-one to address personal needs and overcome obstacles after involvement with the criminal justice system. Our programs give people the tools needed to focus on the future and leave the past behind.
Working in collaboration with the Department of Corrections, we deliver pre-release services to over 40 facilities in Florida. Our dedicated Ready4Release Case Managers bridge the reentry divide to ensure adequate housing, transportation, and job training.
Participants in our free Ready4Work program receive training, job placement, financial benefits, support services, mental health services, housing, and transportation assistance – everything needed to build a new future after involvement with the criminal justice system.
Ready4Success delivers first-class case management, career development, and other crucial program services in a blended service model that is innovative, effective, and primarily virtual.
Our newest program, Ready4Change, is a Community Violence Intervention initiative focused on reducing violence by reaching individuals most at risk. Through strong community partnerships and access to vital resources, we work to interrupt cycles of violence and foster safer, more resilient communities.
Financial independence, career growth, and success can be your future. Learn how others found the confidence and skills to make change happen.
“Prison broke me. But when I came here, I had an opportunity to change that. They give you everything you need to reach out and get your goals. It’s all right here. I have never felt so many people care about me that I don’t know. Everyone here has had my back. I got a job, I’m successful, and I thank everyone here!“
– Danielle, Ready4Work Graduate
