Record Clearing Offers Fresh Start

The Uplift Workforce Solutions HVAC training is a 10-week course that offers technical education, hands-on training, and certifications that allow graduates of the program the ability to pursue permanent gainful employment in the HVAC and electrical trades. The program begins with life skills and job readiness trainings to give participants the tools necessary to maintain their careers and grow as individuals.

The Event was held at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church during their annual “Men’s Know Your Numbers” day. The event was attended by more than 600 men who had an opportunity to take advantage of free health screenings to include prostate, retina, glucose, and more. The event also featured free haircuts, massages, and games.

Volunteer attorneys from the Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity (PLSE) held private confidential meetings with individuals seeking to clear their record where they reviewed their individual cases, developed an action plan, and started expungement and pardon applications. “This was an opportunity for individuals that have a past criminal record, who may have lost hope, meet with an attorney to discuss their individual case and apply for a pardon or expungement, giving them renewed hope and possibility,” says Maureen Cislo, Uplift’s Director of Development and Communications.


Uplift is proud to partner with Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity, and the Promise to bring hope and resources to our communities. Aligned with our mission of reducing barriers for justice impacted individuals, we will continue to hold record clearing events throughout the year.

Thank you to our sponsors: The Promise, PLSE and Enon Tabernacle Church.
