YOU PATH TO A CLEAN SLATE

At CRAWFORD CLEAN SLATE, we are dedicated to helping individuals in all of Crawford County, Pennsylvania, overcome the burdens of their past. Discover how our services can open doors to new opportunities and a brighter future.

Our services for a second chance

We offer specialized assistance to help you clear your record and gain a fresh start. Our team provides guidance and support every step of the way, making the process accessible and understandable.

Expungements

We help you navigate the process of permanently removing eligible criminal records from public access, ensuring a true clean slate.

Pardons

We assist with Governor's Pardon applications for complete record removal, helping you regain full rights and opportunities.

Record Sealing

We guide you through sealing your criminal records, making them inaccessible to most background checks and potential employers.

Who we help

Our services are designed for individuals in Crawford County who seek to overcome past mistakes and build a better future. We focus on providing support to those most impacted by criminal histories.

Job seekers and professionals

We assist job seekers who wish to remove barriers to employment, as many employers still screen for criminal records. Record sealing can hide eligible convictions from standard background checks. Pardons and Expungements are crucial for sensitive positions requiring full background clearance, such as childcare or school roles.

Students and residents

Adults and training program participants often face denial of certification or placement due to criminal records. We also support homebuyers and renters who experience housing discrimination because of past convictions, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to contribute to our community.

Why choose CRAWFORD CLEAN SLATE?

We offer free, personalized assistance from local people who understand Pennsylvania's pardon reform. Our community-driven approach ensures you receive dedicated support throughout your journey.

Local, community-driven support

Unlike state-level services, CRAWFORD CLEAN SLATE is staffed by trained volunteers from our own community, including legal advocates and local leaders. This means you receive personalized guidance tailored to your specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Access to leading pardon reform

Pennsylvania is a national leader in pardon reform, with two-thirds of applicants receiving pardons and "Clean Slate 3.0" expanding eligible offenses. We help you navigate these reforms, including automatic sealing for many nonviolent offenses and expungement for certain cases without prior pardons.
