Supporting Resources for Returning Citizens, Their Families, and Our Community

We want to give you the opportunity, support and resources to succeed in life. We believe you can “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” As a Returning Citizen, we’ll help you prepare to return back into the community.

Reentry Support for Returning Citizens

Prepare for jobs with our training, mock interviews and mentorship. You’ll have access to:

  • Transformational training
  • Job training and retention
  • Job search help

We work with TJA Staffing Agency to find stable jobs that match your skills and give you a second chance. Our mentors will guide you towards a successful future.

"...Those individuals who were in Chance for Life and were successful in Chance for Life from prison, they have a whole new mindset. They have resources set up BEFORE they get out of prison."

Reentry and Family Reintegration

CFL helps you prepare for your loved one’s reentry. We provide a trained facilitator to assist with a reintegration plan, and a mentor that supports the family during the first year of community reintegration. The plan is designed to educate the Returning Citizen and the family using a framework of seven (7) factors that research has shown to be important for reintegration success.

Testimonials

"I heard so much from the prisoners of the success of the Chance for Life. 'We're signing up for the classes with Tom and Jessica as they get the facilitators in the facility, and the class is powerful. As soon as we get out they're gonna buy us a suit, and get us ready!'"

Orlando Gregory

Executive Director, WCOJM

"I said thank you for giving me a chance at life. Because that was missing from my life at the time. And it really saved me."
