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 2020-2021, despite Covid restrictions, we contributed to safe, successful reintegration with:
- 408 formerly incarcerated persons attending weekly virtual Open Door meetings.
- 6 sessions of an online course in Digital Literacy.
- 5 sessions of a pilot project on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL).
- 100 different community volunteers supporting reintegration.
- 165 “Circle” meetings for higher-needs individuals.
