Transitional Programs

The Transitional Programs portfolio disrupts systems of harm and creates opportunities for autonomy and success through providing non-academic support services for students, both pre-and post-release.

While the Transitional Programs portfolio is different in many ways from the Educational Programs Portfolio, these two portfolios overlap in the understanding that THEI is much more than a degree-seeking opportunity; it is an intervention, a lifeline, a community, and a support system.

Our Initiatives

Connected Reentry collaborates with state and community partners to offer a comprehensive range of services for our students transitioning out of prison. By reducing recidivism rates, promoting public safety, and fostering autonomy and success, Connected Reentry paves the way for brighter futures.

Join us for Connected Reentry's inaugural conference, "She Changes Everything," on May 23, 2024. This groundbreaking event will spotlight women in reentry, addressing their unique challenges and celebrating their achievements.
