National H.I.R.E. Network Mission Statement

Established by the Legal Action Center, the National Helping Individuals with criminal records Re-enter through Employment Network is both a national clearinghouse for information and an advocate for policy change. The goal of the National H.I.R.E. Network is to increase the number and quality of job opportunities available to people with criminal records by changing public policies, employment practices and public opinion. The National H.I.R.E. Network also provides training and technical assistance to agencies working to improve the employment prospects for people with criminal records.

The National H.I.R.E. Network is generously supported by the Fulfilling the Dream Fund, Ira De Camp, Joyce and Public Welfare Foundations, Open Society Institute and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
