Help returning citizens get living wage jobs.
At FreeWorld, we help people coming home from prison earn their CDL-A and land good-paying jobs in the trucking industry. Graduates can support themselves and their families, reducing cycles of generational poverty and incarceration.
- +2,200 FreeWorld graduates have earned their CDL-A and landed careers in the trucking industry!
- The average starting salary for graduates is $60,000, more than four times the national average for people returning from prison.
- Our recidivism rate is under 10%, compared to more than 60% nationally.
