About Us

Success Works Partners (SWP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise whose mission is to transform the lives of women affected by the criminal justice system and to break down the barriers to employment through employer engagement, training, and advocating for change.

We provide skills training and mentoring to empower our women to present themselves to an employer who sees their skills and potential and not the criminal record.
