The Reentry Advocacy Project (RAP) provides support and fellowship for persons directly impacted by the criminal justice system and advocates for policies and practices that directly and positively impact justice-involved persons and their families.
RAP advocates for social change and reducing barriers to positive integration by actively participating in civic affairs, presenting to community groups, and seving as mentors and role models to other individuals with lived experience in the criminal justice system. One seat on the Reentry Roundtable's Planning Council and Executive Committee is reserved for a RAP liaison.
Monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month from 6-7 p.m. virtually over Zoom. Please click here to register for these meetings. We hope to see you there!
RAP's Role:
Our Values:
- Community Voice – we listen to and engage people with lived experience in the criminal justice system and communities impacted by the criminal justice system.
- Inclusion – we include multiple perspectives on how to achieve safe and healthy communities through effective reentry and reintegration.
- Respect – we honor the basic dignity of every person and support relationship building as a means to overcome challenges.
- Equity – we focus on disparities and inequities in system delivery and we are not afraid to ask hard questions to facilitate system change.
- Preventing Incarceration – we champion strategies that offer alternatives to jail/incarceration whenever possible.
