WorkNet, Inc.

WorkNet, Inc. WorkNet prepares offenders for their back to the community by helping them find jobs, secure housing, and restore their identity documents.

WorkNet, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation founded in Honolulu in the year 2000. Our service history is defined by our work with the Hawaii prison population whose numbers have more than doubled during the past decade. The vast majority of this increase is due to the surge in the volume of non-violent drug offenders. Hawaii has an inmate population in excess of 6,000 individuals inside a

nd outside the state. In 2015, the Hawaii Paroling Authority will supervise more than 1,300 parolees released on the island of Oahu alone. Many of these individuals are experiencing mental health problems, substance abuse issues, social adjustment barriers or all the above. The majority of the population is between the ages of 25 and 39. The median age is 33 years old. This makes the core group of the population within their prime years for productive membership in the work force. However, many will not find jobs locally that can sustain the island cost of living without intervention. Our mission is built on the premise that these inmates could thrive if provided opportunities for vocational and personal development while incarcerated.
