Convergent Reentry Skills Academy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is successful reentry for justice impacted folks.
Everyone wins. Individual lives are empowered. Businesses get best-of-the-best employees. Society triumphs by both public safety and fiscal metrics. More, doing the right thing is, well, doing the right thing.
The main indicator of reentry success is a meaningful job. Income and purpose eliminate many of the stressors that impact lives, whether the individual is justice impacted or not.
Learning new skills requires a clear and calm mindset for anyone, and returning citizens are no exception. A supportive environment of community which provides tools – including the important soft skills of socialization – can turn a potential good result into a certain good result. Our collaboration with Cogent Thinking gets this done. Our job skills students are prepared with life skills too.
