Lester Young Jr. is from Hilton Head Island, SC. When he was 19, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole until serving 20 years. Lester's biggest struggle in prison was the lack of proper education. With the support of family and friends, he managed to obtain his G.E.D. and later enrolled in a Business Management Course through Ashworth College as a distance learning student.
Lester started attracting attention from prison chaplains, correctional officers, and wardens due to his interest in educating himself and others. With the warden's permission, he began collaborating with Chaplain Gerald Potoka to develop templates, course outlines, programs, and classes to educate and mentor fellow inmates. This led to the creation of "Path2Redemption." Lester pledged to carry on his teachings and inspire others to continue on their paths to redemption once he was released on parole.
One year after his release, Lester started the non-profit organization "Path2Redemption." This non-profit organization hosts workshops for at-risk youth and those who are formerly incarcerated, providing them with the necessities needed for successful acclimation into society. Lester discusses the importance of acknowledging, addressing, and dismissing triggers.
Lester also speaks and trains employees within the Human Resources Department on the benefits of hiring formerly incarcerated individuals. He serves as "the voice" for those who are not able to speak for themselves. As a highly requested speaker, particularly within the prison environment, Lester's lived experience provides a different perspective to those who have not spent time in prison when it comes to teaching and training.
Mr. Young is setting a new standard for "living a life of redemption." As a National Movement & Capacity Building Specialist, Lester focuses on training and educating formerly incarcerated individuals about advocacy and organizing.
Lester emphasizes the significance of second-chance hiring and its benefits not only for the formerly incarcerated individuals but also for the entire community.
