Founded in 2007, EDWINS offers formerly incarcerated adults training in the culinary and hospitality industry, while providing a support network for long-term success. Since 2018, the Browns have contributed over $500,000 to EDWINS with the goal of strengthening its core programming aimed at supporting the organization's 95 percent employment rate and less than one percent recidivism.
Funding of the EDWINS program assists in:
Over 1,800 formerly incarcerated individuals are graduates of one of the largest educational platforms in prisons across the country that was created by Edwin's. To date, less than 1% of EDWINS graduates have been reincarcerated.
"Our partnership with EDWINS represents some of the most meaningful work we do here at the Browns. Brandon's efforts to provide opportunity for those that aren't granted many because of their background is an inspiration. We believe Pathways to Ownership will make Northeast Ohio a better place because it will provide the tools necessary for more successful small businesses."
