Reentry Opportunity & Community Impact Symposium

Join our event in-person or virtually! Returning citizens face significant challenges as they reintegrate into society, but with the right support, they can become empowered leaders, dedicated employees, and engaged community members. Bridging the Gap: Reentry, Opportunity & Community Impact is a powerful symposium that brings together experts, advocates, and partners committed to transforming reentry. Through dynamic panels, real-life success stories, and strategic discussions, this event will highlight how Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are breaking barriers, fostering opportunities, and strengthening partnerships to drive lasting change. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the challenges of reintegration, explore innovative programs that support successful reentry, and discover opportunities to collaborate for greater impact. Together, we champion renewal and resilience—unlocking potential, uplifting communities, and ensuring that no one walks their journey alone. Get the details at https://maryland-cap.org/reentry .
