<h3 dir="ltr">About Us </h3> At FreeWorld, our mission is to end generational poverty and recidivism through economic mobility. We use a tech-forward approach to get returning citizens (folks with a criminal record) into living wage jobs–at scale. We’re focused on trucking jobs at the moment, but are building a platform that will expand well beyond one industry. We’re extremely proud of our 23x social ROI, but have aspirations to 10x that. We’re also proud to have been chosen by <a href="https://info.solve.mit.edu/solver-class-2024" target="_blank">MIT Solve</a> as one of the most innovative tech-forward non-profits driving real change.
