Re-Entry PhotoDon’t let a past criminal record stand between you and a job. Last year, Goodwill helped more than 200 people with a criminal record overcome the challenges of reintegrating back into their communities.

Re-Entry Services Include:

  • Training, case management, mentoring and employment services men and women in work release programs, recovery houses and residential release centers.
  • Goodwill’s Re-Integration Program (G.R.I.P.) offers skills training and enrollment to eligible participants who were released from the Louisiana Department Correction, Federal Prison System or City/Parish prison within the last 7 years.
