The Dannon Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Birmingham, AL that focuses on assisting unemployed or underemployed at-risk youth and returning citizens in reintegrating into society. They provide a range of supportive services, including training, certifications, job placement, and re-entry case management, with the aim of repairing, restoring, and renewing the lives of their participants.

With a strong commitment to second chances, The Dannon Project not only works towards restoring the lives of their participants but also their families, offering everyone an opportunity to achieve life success. They collaborate with various industries to help each participant secure and maintain a job that aligns with their interests and skills. The organization boasts an impressive estimated job retention rate of 96% for program participants two years after graduation. Led by Executive Director Kerri Pruitt, The Dannon Project is dedicated to providing second chances and empowering individuals to become law-abiding, productive citizens who contribute to building healthy and safe communities.Generated from the website
