Unloop
Currently serving Washington State. Over 40% of those released from prison will be reincarcerated within three years.
Unloop supports formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted individuals in building the digital skills and professional readiness needed to pursue living-wage careers. More people are incarcerated in the United States than in any other country in the world, with 2.3 million currently behind bars. Getting a job after release is a major predictor of successful reentry into society, but most people leaving prison do not have access to living-wage jobs due to lack of in-demand skills and the stigma of a criminal record. Meanwhile, opportunities are booming in tech. There are 223,000 estimated open software developer jobs in the U.S., and success as a developer is not dependent on a college degree or formal work experience. We believe that given access to a coding education and a network of support, people with records can succeed in the tech industry, break the cycles of incarceration for their families, and become leaders in their communities. We provide year-long intensive web development training in prison—with integrated professional development curriculum—and build a community of supportive employers, educators, and individuals on the outside to create opportunities for our students upon their release.

The world changed while you were away.
If you were incarcerated before smartphones, Zoom, or online job applications became everyday life, you're not expected to figure it all out alone.
Unloop's free Digital Literacy Program is for formerly incarcerated adults across Washington State. In our last cohort, one participant joined after 20 years away, and learned alongside others starting from the same place, at no cost, with no judgment.

Some participants are returning from incarceration after many years away.
While they were incarcerated, everyday systems moved online. Job applications, housing, benefits, and communication are now digital by default.
Now they’re expected to navigate all of it immediately after release.
We’re raising $2,500 to provide 5 laptops for participants in our Digital Literacy program, so they can access the systems they need and build the skills to navigate them.

Our first Digital Literacy Program cohort of 2026 kicked off this week.
The people who showed up came ready. Some had never used a computer before. Some were nervous. All of them walked in anyway.
At Unloop, we provide free tech training to justice-impacted adults in Washington State -- Google tools, AI, digital presence, and the everyday skills that make navigating life after incarceration more manageable. Our program is delivered in small virtual cohorts, with no transportation required and no prerequisites, in partnership with Victory Code an organization that understands reentry from the inside.
More cohorts are coming this year. If you or someone you know is ready to take this step, applications are open.

Today is Giving Tuesday.
The job market is difficult for so many right now. For those navigating reentry, the challenges are steeper, often with fewer resources to draw from. Unloop supports formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted individuals in building the digital skills and professional readiness needed to pursue living-wage careers.

This year, our participants took concrete steps toward their goals, applying new digital and professional skills in real-world ways.
• Clarissa launched an online store for her clinical-strength skincare line after learning the tools needed to build and manage her business.
• James created a symptom-tracking tool for his VA doctor and built a website for a local community organization.
Your gift could provide a laptop for a participant who does not have one, a job search workshop, or more advanced AI training. Any amount helps.
