At the Fortune Society, we live our mission and try to draw from the population that we serve. This is reflected by the approximately half of our staff who have criminal justice histories or report that they are persons in recovery and over 80% of our staff who are from communities of color.
Become a part of Fortune, and join us in our work to support successful community reentry and promote the creation of a fair, humane, and truly rehabilitative correctional system. Find our open positions here.
