The Yellow Ribbon Project (YRP) is a movement that strives to build a more inclusive society by changing society’s mindset to give ex-offenders a second chance in life so that they can contribute and pay it forward to society. The initiative was started in 2004 by the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network. Former president S.R Nathan launched the campaign at the Yellow Ribbon Project Charity Concert.
