Our inaugural Second Chance Month was a success!
Are you are on mailing list? We sent out an e-summary on Tuesday, April 21, 8 AM. When asked by an audience member about how individuals can support reentry efforts, George and Michael outlined three actionable steps for supporting those reentering society: (1) investing in rehabilitation through nonprofits donations; (2) championing fair-chance hiring and opportunities with employers; and (3) advocating for better mental health resources for those in prison and on parole.
