Keys to the Courtroom
Too often, individuals represent themselves in court—without the right tools. So the 2006 Fellows Class decided to do something about it. They created free brochures called “Keys to the Courtroom” that explain self-defense, and give legal tips in simple terms.
A summit on reentry initiatives in Ohio
Reentry Resources: Building Bridges
The 2008 Fellows Class organized a reentry summit to help raise awareness of options and opportunities for local reentry success - more than 200 attended. Topics included: health challenges, social justice concerns, funding opportunities, employment issues, plus success stories from two gentlemen who successfully reentered community life.
The post summit feedback was very positive: excellent agenda, superior presenters, learned new resources in the "neighbor to neighbor” break-out session, the "Home to Stay" session was "powerful and moving."
