About

Reentry Employment Opportunities

The Reentry and Employment Opportunities (REO) program is designed to strengthen communities through employment-centered grants that incorporate job training, employment supports, mentoring, supportive services, and other comprehensive transitional services for youth and adults involved with the justice system. REO’s adult-focused grants seek to reduce recidivism by helping people currently and previously incarcerated find work when they return to their communities. REO’s youth-focused grants seek to divert youth from prolonged justice system involvement. Faith-based and community organizations play a key role in REO’s work along with American Job Centers.

The Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) program is excited to celebrate Second Chance Month.  Every April offers an opportunity to reflect on the impact of the 2008 passing of the Second Chance Act (SCA) and to highlight the work REO grantees do everyday to support the reentry community.
