📅 Yesterday, CTC team members attended Palm Beach County's Reentry Faith Leadership Workshop as part of Second Chance Month. Faith leaders, social justice advocates and community members came together to learn about reentry challenges and strategies to support individuals transitioning from incarceration. 🤝

Kevin Jones reflected on how we, as a community, can make a difference by giving people the second chances they deserve. William Freeman spoke about his reentry journey and the power of support from pastors, mentors and his community.

Zina Zdorow, our new Recruitment and Partnerships Coordinator 🎉, also engaged with those interested in our chaplaincy programs and certificates (Trauma & Spirituality, Transformational Leadership, and Trauma-Informed Leadership).
