MissionCleanslate, a social enterprise of The Cara Program, provides paid transitional jobs in neighborhood beautification which have a dual purpose - invigorating our communities and providing the platform to help individuals build the skills to secure lasting careers.
A Little History• It all started in 2005
• Goldman Sachs Managing Director, Mark Carroll, was awarded a one year fellowship.
• Mark chose to work with The Cara Program(TCP) to launch a social enterprise.
• Cleanslate(CLSL), a neighborhood beautification business, was conceived to provide transitional jobs to participants from TCP who faced high obstacles to employment.
• June 2005 - CLSL launched in its first community, Auburn Gresham, with sidewalk sweeping.
• This was only the beginning…

• Despite the increased visibility and transitional jobs Cleanslate was providing to the Cara Program, Cleanslate was not profitable.
• In 2011 the “Cleanslate Remix” was launched to strike a better balance between mission and margin.
• The Remix gave Cleanslate more autonomy and flexibility to grow and move toward profitability.
