Empowerment Through Support & Connection This volunteer initiative, including nine regional ambassadors nationwide, aims to ensure every released citizen receives robust support upon reentry. As alumni reintegrate into society, challenges may arise. However, our participants will find unwavering support from Alumni Success, the TLM community, and local Community Ambassadors. These ambassadors represent regional interests and connect participants to a broader network of justice-impacted individuals and resources, ensuring no one faces reentry alone. The Ambassador Program hosts numerous community events, fostering mutual empowerment and engagement. Ambassadors actively seek out and share regional resources, strengthening community bonds. CAP streamlines reentry by offering personalized, localized, and inclusive support. Through collaboration and dedication, it aims to reshape public perceptions of justice-impacted individuals. Ambassadors empower Returned Citizens with the Alumni Success Department, fostering progress and impacting community lives. The Ambassador Program aims to build a more equitable future by providing comprehensive aid and networking opportunities. It supports Returned Citizens unconditionally, dispelling misconceptions and societal stigmas. Ambassadors are able to position Returned Citizens and form successful outcomes properly.
