Job Service Workforce Centers are hosing a Fair Chance Job Fair this Thursday in Bismarck, Fargo, and Grand Forks!

✨✨Your Next Opportunity Starts Here! ✨✨

Stop by our Fair Chance Job Fairs on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 11 AM – 1:30 PM at our Workforce Centers in Bismarck, Fargo, and Grand Forks.

This event is built for individuals who may be navigating challenges such as homelessness, lack of education, recent dislocation, or a criminal background. If you’re ready for a fresh start, local employers and support services will be here to help you take the next step.

You’re not alone — and your future is worth investing in.

Each new day is another opportunity to take a step forward. At F5 Project, we're honored to walk alongside individuals and families as they break barriers, build brighter futures, and create lasting change in their communities.

Is there a person or place in Fargo ND, that will remove racial tattoos for free? I got a guy that got some while locked up and is changing his life, and would like to get them removed.

Every day, people in our communities are fighting battles most will never see. At F5 Project, we believe recovery, reentry, and second chances are built through support, connection, and hope. Together, we keep breaking barriers and building futures. ❤️

Last week, our F5 Project - Minot team walked alongside a participant whose biggest obstacle to rebuilding his life was simply this: he didn't have identification.

What followed was a month of persistence - phone calls, emails, driving back and forth between social security offices, social service offices, previous job sites, Hirequest, Probation office, DMVs, hotels, treatments, reaching out to other states, colleges, law offices, problem solving during a statewide F5 Project brainstorming session, contacting countless non-profits, fellow agencies, our Federal Delegation, and more.

After a 16-hour and 1,000 mile road trip - he finally has the necessary documents for identification and employment!

Thank you to every agency and person who has been involved in this process! This is the kind of work that often goes unseen. Not because it is small; but because it takes patience, persistence, and people refusing to give up.

At F5 Project, this is what reentry and recovery support looks like in real life.

Recovery isn’t always loud.
Sometimes progress looks like simply not giving up.

Every step forward matters. Keep going — we’re rooting for you. ❤️
