About this Event
New Steps: A Reentry Conversation
Reentry doesn't happen alone. It happens in community.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people return home from incarceration — and too often, they walk back into the world without a roadmap, without resources, and without anyone standing there to say, "We've been waiting for you."
A Step to Freedom is changing that.
On Thursday, April 30, we're bringing together 100 community members, service providers, advocates, and individuals navigating reentry for a half-day symposium built around one mission: building real pathways to successful reintegration.
What You'll Experience
→ A Powerful Keynote from a speaker who has lived the reentry journey firsthand — sharing the unfiltered truth about what it takes, what's missing, and what makes the difference.
→ Three Breakout Workshops (choose one):
- Family Reunification — Rebuilding the relationships that matter most
- Entrepreneurship & Job Placement — Creating economic opportunity from day one
- Mental Health & Wellness — Healing the whole person, not just the circumstance
→ 10+ Resource Vendors offering direct connections to employment programs, legal assistance, housing support, mental health services, and reentry organizations — all under one roof.
→ A Community Panel Discussion over lunch featuring reentry advocates, service providers, and community leaders on how collaboration creates lasting change.
