Founded in November 2020, the SC Coalition for Re-Entry is dedicated to empowering and supporting returning citizens as they reenter society after incarceration. Our mission is to bring together individuals, organizations, and policymakers to provide comprehensive resources, advocacy, and community engagement aimed at eliminating barriers to successful re-entry.
Executive Members
Our executive members, who form the planning and implementation group for our conferences, are committed to fostering collaboration and sharing best practices that lead to meaningful change. We believe in the power of redemption, second chances, and recognizing the inherent worth of every individual.
