One "yes" can open a door.

We connect people who have been pushed out of opportunities with real, doable paths back in. Sometimes it's a job lead, sometimes it's guidance, sometimes it's just not being ignored.

This page is intentionally simple. You can host it on GitHub Pages and connect your domain later.

Our principles

We keep it practical and respectful. No speeches, no savior vibe, just consistent work and honest support.

Dignity first

People are not their worst day. We speak plainly, we listen, and we don't treat anyone like a case file.

Second chances work

Recovery, disability, gaps in work history, or tough circumstances shouldn't be a permanent sentence.

Real opportunities

We focus on specific steps: contacts, preparation, and follow-up. Small wins, then bigger ones.

Privacy matters

We protect identities and sensitive details. We share stories only with clear consent.

Who we are

We are a small team that believes the first "yes" is the hardest one to get, and the most powerful.

Some of us have worked with community programs, others in hiring or training. We learned that talent is everywhere, but access is not. So we built something simple: help people reach the next step without making them jump through extra hoops.

Replace this with your real story. A short anecdote works well, like "It started when..." and one specific moment.

What we do

  • Guidance to rebuild a work path
  • Connections to inclusive employers
  • Basic preparation (CV, interview, documentation)
  • Follow-up so people are not left hanging

Had anxiety about interviews, honestly, it was heavy. We did mock interviews and a simple script. Result: internship offer, then reference letter for the next job.
