We've been excited about Next Chapter ever since we co-created the pilot program in 2018. That's why we're thrilled to announce that @Dropbox and @zoom_us are joining us in working to provide real pathways to employment for those leaving incarceration. bit.ly/2CcN7zG

Slack’s Next Chapter program expands to include Dropbox and Zoom

Slack is where work flows. It's where the people you need, the information you share, and the tools you use come together to get things done.
