The redemption Project works
because of people like you!

Your Employment Partner journey continues with the agreement to a Memorandum of Understanding and the submission of an introductory application. Once we receive these items from you, we’ll contact you shortly to schedule a Discovery Meeting (as mentioned in the Guide) to gain a deeper understanding of you and your business’ specific needs.

 
 

Memorandum of Understanding

 

We’re committed to transparency. Throughout this Guide we’ve shared the compelling benefits of second chance hiring while also acknowledging its possible risks. This Memorandum of Understanding is simply the formal acknowledgment of those risks.

For the purposes of this introductory application, all we ask is that you read and agree to the Memorandum with the intention to sign it via paper or digital document at your Discovery Meeting.

 
 

The Redemption Project
Memorandum of Understanding

THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING is made ______________, by and between THE REDEMPTION PROJECT, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation with offices at 445 Minnesota Street, Suite 1500, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 (“TRP”), and the undersigned company or agency (“Employer”).

 WHEREAS, TRP is a nonprofit and charitable organization that provides education, advocacy and support to inmates in federal and state prisons and local jails who are accepted into the TRP program for matching such inmates with potential employers upon their release from incarceration (the “TRP Program”); and

 WHEREAS, TRP has requested the participation of Employer as a potential employer in the TRP Program and Employer is willing and able to participate in such capacity;

 NOW THEREFORE, the following is the mutual intent and understanding of TRP and Employer:

 1.              Participation as Potential Employer.

 Employer agrees to participate as a potential employer in the TRP Program and to consider hiring former inmates (TRP Fellows) introduced by TRP if Employer has available job openings and if the former inmates (TRP Fellows) meet the qualifications of such jobs.  Employer agrees that TRP may include Employer’s name, contact information and logo on TRP’s website, in promotional materials for the TRP Program, and in information distributed to inmates in the TRP Program seeking employment after release, in order to identify Employer as a participating potential employer which TRP refers to as an Employment Partner.

 2.              Introductions.

TRP will provide the Employer’s (Employment Partner) contact information to inmates from the TRP Program (TRP Fellows) as potential employment opportunities prior to release from prison and/or thereafter. If the TRP Fellow is interested in a position with the Employer, TRP will contact the Employer to make them aware that the inmate will be making an application. TRP will work with the former inmate (TRP Fellow) to overcome any barriers in making the application. If Employer decides to make an offer of employment to the former inmate (TRP Fellow), TRP will provide support and assistance to the inmate in making the re-entry transition.

3.      Termination.

 Either party may terminate this Memorandum of Understanding at any time, with or without cause, by giving written notice of termination to the other party.
