Committee work

Committee members meet monthly to:
  • Plan and report on outreach opportunities.​
  • Collaborate with other justice-impacted and reentry organizations.
  • Follow through with reentering individuals interested in apprenticeship and connect them with resources.
  • Educate committee members through guest speakers and partner organizations focused on post-conviction relief, reentry support, and barrier-reduction resources, helping strengthen connections to the services available to the individuals we serve.
If you are part of an organization that supports justice-impacted individuals through legal services, reentry support, resources, or barrier-reduction efforts, and are interested in connecting with our Committee, please contact Minna Long at [email protected]
