Communitas works toward the successful reintegration of those who have spent time in prison.
Why It Matters
The right support after release improves lives, saves the public money, and reduces re-offending. Research shows it. We’ve seen it.
How We Work
We bridge the gap between prison and the community by bringing currently or formerly incarcerated individuals together with everyday citizens for supportive, accountable relationships.
How You Can Contribute
The community is behind all of our success. You can contribute by volunteering, donating, or telling others about our work.
Our Impact
In 2023-2024, as Covid restrictions eased, we contributed to safe, successful reintegration with:
- 453 formerly incarcerated persons attending Open Door meetings
- 51 Table Talk meetings with 801 people in attendance
- 50 on-line meetings welcoming Zoomers
- 103 “Circle” meetings with 250+ volunteer hours
- 800 copies of the Communitas Quarterly Newsletter(The Sou’Wester) distributed in the community and within prisons
