The Center for Employment Opportunities (CEO) believes in the transformational power of work, and our vision is that anyone with a criminal record who wants to work has the preparation and support needed to find a job and to stay connected to the labor force. VISTA Members at CEO will support local sites seeking to change the status quo for individuals returning home from incarceration. Each VISTA Member will conduct research and create a program design for resource development, partnership development, and program innovation activities.
