“To transform lives by providing educational and career access, while fostering diverse and inclusive communities”

The Kent State Prison Reentry Program offers comprehensive education and employment-based services for justice-impacted individuals to successfully reintegrate into northeast Ohio

Our goal is to promote racial equity, increase educational attainment and employment, and reduce recidivism in reentry communities.
