Comprehensive support for healing and empowering individuals to create lasting community change
Reentry Navigation
Credible messengers use their lived experience to assist formerly incarcerated individuals in their personal journey to successfully reintegrate with families and communities. OAA navigators create supportive forums that serve as centralized hubs to provide safe space to meet, fellowship, and connect with various services. We equip justice-impacted individuals to become credible messengers, community leaders who use their lived experience to promote healing for families and reduce violence.
