Since April 11th, 2023, Merge has successfully placed over two hundred members from underserved communities into meaningful career opportunities. This includes transitional age foster youth, young adults transitioning from recovery, individuals reentering society, and parents returning to the workforce after caring for a sick child. The barriers these individuals face can be overwhelming and confusing. To address this, Merge, along with several charity partners, has stepped in to bridge the gap, connecting them with companies eager to make a positive impact.
