What we offer:
- A drop-in Resource Center to socialize, get assistance with education, job and housing applications, HiSET(GED) and other tutoring, and general problem solving.
- Mentoring pairs a returning citizen with a community member for support, companionship, and accountability. Partners meet every week or so for social time, skill building activities (e.g., writing a resume), and/or discussing how your reentry plan is going.
- Community Meetings: Most Community Meetings begin with a check-in, where members share their recent successes and challenges. The second part includes workshops on life skills, self-awareness and emotional literacy, communications skills, and problem-solving, etc. Small group activities, journaling, meditation, and other exercises are used along with presentations from speakers.
Inside Out Reentry Community aims to reduce the social stigma returning citizens often feel. We are not a faith-based community but we do encourage spiritual exploration as one means of growth and change.
