📣 Community, you’re invited!
What does it really take to rebuild your life after incarceration?
Join North Carolina Families United for our Rural Reentry Simulation, an interactive experience that allows participants to step into the shoes of someone returning home to a rural community.
Participants will navigate real-life barriers related to housing, employment, transportation, identification, supervision requirements, family responsibilities, and other basic needs. You may be surprised by how quickly one obstacle can affect everything else.
This is more than a simulation. It is an opportunity for community members, service providers, employers, educators, faith partners, justice-system professionals, and individuals with lived experience to come together, build understanding, and explore how Caldwell County can better support successful reentry.
💛 Participants and volunteers are needed.
The event is free, but space is limited.
