Reentry isn’t the end of the journey; it’s where transformation takes root.
The first 90 days after release are the most critical in a returning citizen’s journey. Without support, many face a confusing and isolating reentry—often with only $50, a bus ticket, and no ID, housing, or job. Nearly 50% of recidivism happens during this vulnerable period.
PEP graduates, however, are never released alone. Through mentorship, housing, and reentry programming, they’re welcomed into a community of accountability, character, and hope.
You can play a vital role in that transformation.
