Housing Coordinator

Project Rebound is a special admissions and student support program that supports the higher education and successful reintegration of the formerly incarcerated. By making higher education more accessible and supporting formerly incarcerated students to excel in a course of study, Project Rebound constructs an alternative to the revolving door policy of mass incarceration in order to empower formerly incarcerated students and their communities and increase community strength and safety.

Project Rebound strives to provide each student with the individualized support that they need to succeed.
