Overview

Drive Change builds and operates state of the art food trucks that hire and empower formerly incarcerated youth ages sixteen through twenty five. Drive Change uses the food truck industry to provide quality employment and teach transferable skill learning to young people returning home from adult jail or prison so they can access opportunity and live crime free bright futures. Drive Change s six to eight month transitional jobs re entry program works with approximately thirty young people annually (by way of their award winning Snowday Food Truck). Drive Change s plan is to build a food truck commissary where other like minded businesses will park receive industry benefits and hire young people out of the program. This commissary will allow Drive Change to create a fleet of food trucks for social justice and expand the program to over 100 people per year. After proving the commissary infrastructure model Drive Change plans to scale it to other cities in order to turn more red lights green for young people returning home.
