Returning citizens face challenges reentering the community after incarceration. The Free2

Succeed Mentoring program connects mentors with mentees who are close to release or currently on supervision to community resources and reentry support. Mentors collaborate with facility and probation/parole staff to promote pro-social activities, accountability, and positive relationships. Mentors may help with employment, education, housing, and navigating community resources as part of the reentry plan.
