The Safer Foundation, a nonprofit social impact organization based in Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1972. Its mission is to reduce recidivism by supporting, through a full spectrum of services, the efforts of people with arrest and conviction records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community. If people with records are provided with direct service support focused on job preparedness and placement, and are also linked to other critical supportive services their reentry challenges will be addressed and, as a result, their likelihood to recidivate (return to prison) will be reduced.
Felicity Education partners with similar organizations locally, regionally and nationally to give second chance employment opportunities to those impacted by a justice experience.

Our Approach
Felicity Education works locally, regionally and nationally to find schools and districts with missions that include: integrated vocational programs, experiential learning, individualized programming, technology. and mentoring, so that we can partner to give students valuable training and workforce skills that will help them compete for jobs, post graduation.
Expectations
We ask three things of students interested in working. One, they need to be current in their school work. Two, they need to be receptive to working on a team and for learning new skills. Lastly, they need to be able to be on time for work, execute on the work they have been trained on, and be consistent with their attendance.
Student Wages
Students are paid an hourly wage for their work and often get school culinary credit for their work.
Volunteer Opportunities
Become a volunteer with Felicity Educational Services and make a difference in the lives of those dealing with mental health issues. We offer a variety of opportunities to get involved and give back to your community.

Often reentry support and wellness interventions and services build an intellectual and emotional framework for successful reentry based on your unique needs discovered in our client assessment process.
