REDF Board member Chet P. Hewitt knows from personal experience the difference a job can make. As a troubled teenager, Hewitt had been incarcerated in Rikers Island. The arc of his life changed when two men in his neighborhood offered him a job after his release. In short order, Hewitt began to turn his life around: he entered college, earned a degree in law, and pursued a career in social services.
