This innovative, research-based































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































nonresidential model results in the successful reintegration of































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































formerly-incarcerated persons into their families and communities.

utilizes successful ex-offenders as leaders, role models, and mentors,































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































builds collaborations with stakeholders, and creates positive pro-social
