For decades, people with lived experience have walked alongside those returning home from incarceration — doing some of the most vital work in recovery, often without a national pathway that reflects its depth, skill, and importance.
That is finally changing, and your voice can help shape the future of the reentry field. Together, we are building the national Peer ReEntry Professional Certification, and we want your feedback in the survey guiding this work.
The survey closes Monday, June 22.
