Highlighted
In 2017, more than 20,000 people returned to their communities after leaving state prisons. That number will continue to increase, along with the number of people who are leaving federal prison or completing some form of court-ordered monitoring or supervision. How are these individuals supported in their efforts to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into their communities? What resources are available from government, nonprofit, community colleges, and business communities to address key reentry issues. This session will look at the way community colleges and their community partners can support this work in the state prisons and jails as well as how to effectively respect and coach individuals on campus into successful career choices, and to effectively have conversations with employers.
