Project Rebound at Stanislaus State

We had an AMAZING time at the 54th Annual JCCASAC Conference last week! We were able to take 2 students that will soon be graduating, and this was their very first time attending a conference. 👏🏽🎉 They were able to listen to some amazing speakers, network, and share their stories.

We had an amazing workshop yesterday. John Peery shared his expertise on how to build a successful business and the students gained a wealth of knowledge. Thank you, John!! 🙌🏽👏🏽

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Joaquin for his acceptance in the MSW program. Words cannot express how excited and proud we are of you! 🎉🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We had a BUSY day yesterday! Our Program Coordinator and five of our students (Surjevon, Jeremy, Destini, Gracie, and Jr) were invited by faculty members to share their testimonies and program information to a few classes on campus. Faculty and students were moved by their powerful stories and were extremely thankful.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 Please join me in welcoming our two new student assistants to the Project Rebound team here at Stan State! They just started this week and hit the ground running! They are exceeding expectations and we couldn’t be more happier to have them be a part of the team.

SURJEVON is a Business Administration student and scheduled to graduate this May. His attention to detail and follow up skills are amazing!

DESTINI is a Sociology student and will be graduating this summer. Her passion and drive for social work is extremely admirable.

We are all excited to have them! ✊🏽👏🏽🙌🏽

At the Cal State L.A. Project Rebound Symposium, we had the opportunity to meet FRANKY CARRILLO. Not only did we get to meet him, we had the chance to hear him share his amazing testimony.

Mr. Carrillo was wrongfully convicted and served over 20 years in prison. There is a documentary of the wrongful conviction available on Netflix.

Mr. Carrillo is now running for State Assembly, striving to make a change within the carceral system.

We just returned from another amazing conference. We had the opportunity to attend the Project Rebound 2nd Annual Symposium at Cal State L.A.

Our Program Coordinator, Danica Bravo, had the opportunity to speak on Navigating the Roadmap to a Successful Reintegration. Additionally, she was asked to be one of the three judges for the Rising Scholars Challenge which, all three presentations were amazing!!👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Lastly, we were able to support three of our Rebound students to attend this conference and they had the opportunity to network with other students and various statewide programs. ✊🏽

Project Rebound Familia at the 2nd Annual Symposium! 🔥

Last week we attended three New Student Orientations between the Turlock and Stockton Campuses. We shared the wonderful benefits, support, and services that come with our program. Students were intrigued and anxious to get involved.

Day 2 of the 13th NCHEP! The guys are having a blast. They love networking with formerly incarcerated folks and advocates from all over the world.

We are here in Atlanta attending the 13th National Conference on Higher Education in Prison.

Brought 2 students with me, Jamel and Jeremy. Jamel served 19 years in prison and Jeremy served 17 years in prison. Both, just got out this last May. Both, have never been to a conference. Both, are very excited to be here!!
