I am Jim Clore and I am excited to partner with and volunteer for FAILSAFE-ERA.  I have lived here in the Fredericksburg area for all of my fifty years so you might say that I have some pretty strong community ties.  Over the course of the last thirty years, I have had roles as a city employee, private sector employee, self-employed entrepreneur, and now I currently function as a general manager for an umbrella of four businesses under a single corporation here in town.  

 

I have had a personal experience that left me affected and influenced by incarceration. I am married to a wonderful wife and I have an amazing daughter and son of my own, as well as three super bonus daughters and three grandchildren that I happily inherited when I recently became a newlywed.   I am here to help mentor and coach men and women that are re-entering society to build up their own personal Courage to Change.

​

 

Courage to Change is a great program that has been recently offered to individuals during incarceration in the regional jail.  I am now thrilled to begin offering this program in our community to individuals that have returned home and are seeking to be Agents of Change in their own lives while leading a productive and fulfilling life.
