The yellow ribbon is picking up pace. As the number of activities and projects grew, we expanded the leadership and the team to make our work even more effective and education in the area of criminal policy to have a greater impact.
Gabriela Slováková — President of the Association
Gabriela Slováková, Director of the Probation and Mediation Service, becomes president of the association. He will continue to focus mainly on caring for partners, developing cooperation and fundraising — that is, areas that keep the project on its feet and move it forward.
Veronika Friebová — Association Director
The position of director is Veronika Friebová. He will continue primarily in PR, marketing and community building around the topic. We want the topic of employing people with criminal backgrounds to be seen even more and society better understood why it is so important. It will build on the Yellow Ribbon communication so far and take it one step further.
Strengthening the expert team
A content specialist has been working with us for more than a year Veronika Halakova. It makes sure that our texts are clear and understandable to the public and experts alike.
We are now joined by two additional reinforcements:
- Sarka Flodrova will take care of the project agenda and event management.
- Renata Ohnoutkova, a social networking specialist, will lead the Yellow Ribbon's online communications.
Stronger Volunteer Base
We are also very pleased to see the expansion of the volunteer team:
- Veronika Pleskova, an experienced attorney, will look after partners at events.
- Rene Hamrla, a longtime fan and runner of the Yellow Ribbon Run, will assume leadership of the implementation team of volunteers at the running events.

Seven Women, Seven Stories of Hope: Invitation to Prague Castle
Just before Christmas Eve, several brave women, clients of the Probation and Mediation Service and active members of the Yellow Ribbon community, received an invitation to an extraordinary meeting with the President of the Republic Petr Pavlo and the First Lady Eva Pavlova.
With the idea of organizing a holiday audience The Office of the President of the Republic addressed the Director of the Probation and Mediation Service and our founder Gabriela Slováková. It was the long-term work of the Yellow Ribbon, as well as the volunteer and ambassadorial activity of Barbora Černošková, who sensitively opens the topic of people with a criminal past and the effects of punishment on their children, that captivated the presidential office. Thanks to this, this topic has come to the center of attention even at the highest state and social levels.
From 2024 onwards, it will gradually opens space for an open, substantive and at the same time humane debate on penal policy. A debate that makes sense — either thanks to the patronage of the President of the Republic or through discussions on the floor of institutions such as the Chamber of Deputies.
At the end of December, Seven women from all corners of the republic went down to Prague Castle. Each of them in the past, for various reasons, came into conflict with the law and passed the execution of punishment. Today he stands firmly on his own two feet. They were able to close this chapter of life and start again thanks to the professional support, patient work of probation officers, but also through their own determination.
All these women take care of their families and loved ones with dedication, but at the same time selflessly help even people they did not know before. They educate themselves, work on themselves, develop their projects and inspire their surroundings. Whether within organizations, community activities, or just as part of Yellow Ribbon. They prove that second chances make sense.
