Being prepared to work upon release is an important component to successful reentry and how we keep people safe. This fall, Reentry Program Manager Tony Britten presented at the Reentry Summit in Florida alongside partners from UNO and grant-funded providers of the Vocational Life Skills (VLS) Program. They shared about the development of the VLS Program and how having individuals with lived experience work with our population has been a win-win all around.

These programs provide a variety of services intended to increase employability and reduce recidivism, targeting the five stabilizing factors including: housing, employment/education, mental health, substance use, and supportive relationships. #BuildYourFuture #NDCSEvents
