Nobody compiles a public list. Your probation/parole officer may be able to help. Some will. many won't. Your college may have a job placement center that can offer help as well.
Other than that, you need to apply at a lot of places. Being honest and 100% open on your application and during interviews may help.
I apploud you for turning your life around. My son is also a convicted felon and is currently a college student as well. After he got out he worked at a Burger King and a Taco Bell. Currently he is employed by his college newspaper.

me and a friend were just discussing this yesterday. this creates a real problem. depending on the criminal, he or she may go back to doing crimes to make money if they can't find a job. by companies refusing to give people a second chance, they may be creating a better work enviroment for their current employees, but they're making it worse when the employees leave the work place and out into the rest of the world.
i think we should set place, either special jobs for ex criminals to prove their worth and trust, or require companies to not discriminate against applications that may list past criminal activity. there obviously would be rules and regulations stating what they have to accept and what they could reject, and whether their business would have a requirement to not hire someone with a certain type of background.
but i honestly like the idea of having specific jobs for criminals. they probably would not be high paying glorious jobs, but obviously if you are willing to work hard, people will trust you a lot easier.

i think the fact that you are going to college would prove to them you are trying to change your life around. make sure you provide proof with your applications/resumes that you are going to school. and someone else said, be honest. better you not get hired for a criminal background than to get fired lying. and that is really not going to look good when you lie and have a criminal background.
best of luck.

The closest location I know is a company that has a location in Lodi, CA called Coronado Stone Products or Creative Stone.
Sorry, this is all I know, maybe you can contact them and find out more about companies like them.
Their headquarter is at Fontana, CA
