Digital skills training for people impacted by the justice system
With the help of organizations across the country, we’re equipping formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted people with critical digital skills they can use to get a job or start a business.
FUNDING FOR JUSTICE-IMPACTED COMMUNITIES
In June 2022, we launched the $4 million Grow with Google Fund for Justice-Impacted Communities to enable organizations to teach digital skills to people who have been impacted by the justice system. More than 500 organizations applied, and we've selected over 65 that have a proven track record of supporting justice-impacted communities and have the capacity to provide digital skills training at scale.
Any nonprofit organization can join the Grow with Google Partner Program. Today, more than 9,000 nonprofit partners across the U.S. have access to additional resources, digital skills-focused workshop materials, and hands-on help from a dedicated team at Google, specifically designed to support job seekers and small businesses.
We’ve worked with our five founding partners to jointly curate a collection of video-based digital skills lessons for justice-impacted individuals. Grow with Google offers five learning paths focused on developing the necessary skills for the evolving job market, and are all available online for program partners.
Supporting justice-impacted communities is just one example of the work Google is doing to unlock opportunity. Learn more about how Google is helping build a world where everyone can belong.
This training helped me feel much more comfortable and confident in reaching out to people to build my business.

I learned how to build a resume and write an effective cover letter that helped me search for my next career... Using the skills that I learned in the program, I was able to find employment where I utilize online documents, calendar, and email daily.

I am more confident in being able to make presentations with digital tools as a professional public speaker. Public speaking is a ‘show and tell’ profession. I can show my story professionally as I tell it.
