Comprehensive Reentry Program
Abe Brown Ministries’ inspHire program emboldens formerly incarcerated persons by equipping them with marketable skills to secure gainful employment and achieve self-sufficiency.
Ready4Work-Hillsborough is now, inspHire!
What’s in a name? Our desire to reintroduce ourselves as inspHire comes from an effort to communicate the true intention behind our reentry work: more than ready, we want you to be inspired. We’ve changed our name only to more accurately describe the goal when providing the highest level of reentry support to our clients. To inspire means to create a feeling in a person; an urge to do or fulfill with a sense of urgency, especially something creative. Our inspHire re-entry program seeks to do just that: transformation that incites a feeling of empowerment: a feeling that allows one to create a new reality, new life. A feeling where one is not only prepared but inherently and uniquely capable despite their past challenges.Abe Brown Ministries (ABM) has earned the trust of our clients and the community since 1977.
In 2014, ABM launched a reentry program designed to embolden and develop (personally & professionally) citizens with lived incarceration assisting them in securing gainful employment in order to achieve self-sufficiency. That program is now known as inspHire. ABM’s inspHire program accomplishes this by providing comprehensive interventions that stabilize the lives of our clients so that they can focus on sobriety, good health, training, and personal growth. Clients are formerly incarcerated persons who are not habitual violent offenders, do not have any sexual offenses, and must undergo a complete background screening prior to acceptance into the program. Upon acceptance, participants are required to attend a comprehensive six-week professional development training course, featuring employability and life management skills. Additionally, participants are paired with a case manager who provides guidance and support, as well as referrals for community assistance, life-coaching, and follow-up drug screening.

Comprehensive Reentry
Program
Abe Brown Ministries' inspHire program empowers formerly incarcerated individuals by providing the skills, training, and support needed to secure meaningful employment and achieve self-sufficiency.
The History of InspHire
inspHire is the reentry program of Abe Brown Ministries (ABM), helping individuals with lived incarceration experience rebuild their lives through employment, personal development, and community support.
Launched in 2014 as Ready4Work-Hillsborough, the program was created to help returning citizens achieve self-sufficiency through workforce development, life-skills training, case management, and supportive services. As the program evolved, it was renamed inspHire to reflect its broader mission of inspiring confidence, growth, and lasting transformation.
Since 1977, Abe Brown Ministries has served the Tampa Bay community. Today, inspHire continues that legacy by helping participants achieve stability, develop job-ready skills, and pursue personal and professional goals. The program recognizes that successful reentry requires more than employment alone—it requires access to resources, support, and opportunities for personal growth.
Participants complete a screening process and a six-week professional development program and receive ongoing support from a dedicated case manager, including life coaching and referrals to community resources. Through a holistic approach, inspHire helps participants overcome barriers and build a strong foundation for long-term success.
inspHire remains committed to helping returning citizens build productive, self-sufficient, and fulfilling lives.
