Know More

Know More helps people who are justice-involved or at risk build stable, independent lives. Through mentorship, scholarships and job placement, we help people get stable, set goals, and gain the education and skills that lead to good work and a fresh start.

Know More is a small, volunteer-run nonprofit based in Tampa, Florida, with roots in Iowa City, Iowa. We serve people of all ages who are justice-involved or at risk: people working to rebuild after incarceration, and those facing the obstacles that can lead there.

We focus on three things:

• Mentorship: one-on-one support to build stability, set goals and take stock of skills
• Scholarships: help paying for college and skills training, so a fresh start can come with a credential
• Job placement: connections to second-chance employers who hire on potential, not past

We believe everyone deserves a second chance and the tools to make the most of it. We meet people where they are, help them get stable first, and then help them build toward school or work. We also keep a free community resource map for Hillsborough County to help people find local services.
