Think nobody is going to hire you? Think again.

We understand that returning from incarceration is different for everyone. In addition to our main programs, URC offers Empowerment Groups to help ease the transition for you, your family, and the community.

EXPUNGEMENT CLINICS

Carrying a criminal record can be a burden that lasts long after you’ve completed your incarceration, but for some people, an expungement or sealed criminal record is possible. URC partners with Attorney Kim Akins to provide Expungement Clinics that help you navigate the possibility of having your criminal record sealed - meaning it will no longer show up on most background checks. Additional fees apply. Please complete our intake form for more information.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT GROUP

URC’s Women’s Empowerment Group seeks to educate and empower women in the Youngstown community. This group allows women to share ideas, network, encourage one another, and offer support. There will also be a focus on holistic healing, mental health counseling, and wellness education.
