Project Reentry

Our team is thrilled to welcome Eric Bougard home after 37 years inside! This morning, Eric reunited with his family and friends, having originally been sentenced to life without parole as a juvenile nearly four decades ago. His loyal SADO team, attorney Erin Bartels and reentry specialist Marcus Williams, were there to cheer him on as he begins the next chapter of his life in the community. Welcome home, Eric!

Our Digital Literacy Workshop is back on the calendar! Join us for this great session with The Friends U Need on Monday, March 30 at 6:00.

Technology is constantly evolving, and digital literacy is critical upon returning to the community. This workshop will both highlight the importance of digital literacy, especially for returning citizens, and provide practical examples for navigating technology including computers, phones, and other devices.
