In the fall of 2023, when Patrick re-entered the community after over 15 years of incarceration, he didn’t think he was going to be able to find or hold down employment. 

However, upon release, Patrick connected with the Pathways Program who introduced him to Working Fields’ supportive employment services. His first step with Working Fields was a job survey with Senior Account Manager, Lorcan, during which they discussed Patrick's concerns, goals, and barriers to employment. Following the survey, Lorcan matched him with a Working Fields peer coach and placed him in an open position with Working Fields’ employer, Lane Press.  Read Patrick's full story of perseverance and hope here.
