Fair Chance Career & Resource Fair

 So far in 2025, we’ve hosted four Fair Chance Career and Resource Fairs, with five more confirmed for the remainder of the year. These events bring together unique businesses, unions, service providers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to connect with Adults in Custody (AICs) as they prepare for re-entry. The “outside organizations” figures below represent distinct participating groups and do not include the total number of individual outside guests who attended. 

 A collaborative effort made possible by the dedicated staff of Opportunity Oregon, Oregon Department of Corrections, Eastern Oregon Workforce Board, WorkSource Oregon and Oregon Corrections Enterprises. 

This year’s completed events include:

• Santiam Correctional Institute – March 7 | 140 AIC participants | 42 outside organizations
• Snake River Correctional Institution – April 3 | 250 AIC participants | 21 outside organizations
• Coffee Creek Correctional Facility – Minimum – June 13 | 200 AIC participants | 37 outside organizations
• Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution – August 1 | 300 AIC participants | 30 outside organizations
