I have been working as a volunteer on a Piolet Reentry program for moderate to low income people for three years. Trinity Program has won several awards including being the best reentry & best employment service, from the American Bar Association,Criminal Jutice Section out of Washington DC. We are outcome based and our statistics are way beyond the other reentry programs. We have found that if you ask people what they want to do and really listen to them; that you can blueprint a plan for them out of poverty and the criminal justice system. They are given obtainable babysteps to gain confidence and larger steps to obtain their goal. We have seen hope restored where there was none! We have seen recidivisum in Manhattan reduced by 7% due to our efforts. We see people on the tax rolls instead of taking from them. What is different about us, is we work with every agency, service, or government office to obtain the best possible services for the individual, to assist them in succeeding.Our awards speak for the quality of our work. We are a NYS Non-Profit and pending a 501 c (3). What can we do to step away from being a piolet program?
