On April 29, HopeWorks held a completion ceremony for our students at the Shelby County Division of Corrections. We were honored to have former Shelby County Sheriff and Mayor Mark Luttrell as our guest speaker. He shared about his experience working in corrections, reminding graduates that the hard work begins *after* release. #ReentryMatters (fb)

Meet Oliver! 👋 Oliver serves as House Shepherd at Forgiveness House, our transitional living facility for men reentering society after incarceration. Oliver shared, "Second chances are the way HopeWorks presents newly released residents with a complete reentry package of assistance, plus additional opportunities to better themselves and fulfill their dreams. Thanks to HopeWorks' partner organizations and connections, residents can access the education and training they've always wanted but were unsure how to obtain. More education and skills means promotions, pay increases and increased opportunities. Clients can build a foundation of hope and determination to not return to prison." #ReentryMatters (fb)
