Partnering Organizations Look to Host Event Annually

In partnership with Fresh Coast Alliance and the Michigan Department of Corrections, Michigan Works! West Central held the first-ever Reentry United conference in November. Nearly 250 people from across Michigan attended the event.


The goal of the conference held at the Eberhard Center in downtown Grand Rapids was to highlight successful partnerships, programs and services that can benefit returning citizens.


The inaugural conference featured breakout sessions and panel discussions on topics such as services for justice-involved individuals, successful collaboration with MDOC and returning citizens, mentoring programs, re-entry grants, trauma, the future of re-entry and more!
