Clean Slate Lexington is returning in 2024 to help give a second chance to community members by addressing barriers in employment, education, and housing.
The program — which holds expungement clinics for those with nonviolent criminal records — provides opportunities for Lexingtonians facing roadblocks when reentering the workforce. Following a successful Clean Slate Conference last fall, the city has announced the next clinic happening in April 2024.
During the clinics, Lexingtonians trying to re-enter the workforce can begin the expungement process, network with like-minded folks, and connect with companies that are open to second chances. Registration is required.
“We know that low-level offenses can keep members of our community from accessing basic needs, and the goal of this event is to further promote equity, inclusion and diversity so all walks of life are represented in our workplaces, communities, and educational institutions,” said Tiffany Brown, Equity and Implementation Officer + event coordinator.
