About Us
Empowering young men transitioning from incarceration with the support, resources, and guidance needed to reintegrate into society.
OUR PURPOSE
Trauma-informed re-entry support for young men rebuilding their lives.
The program addresses the mental health challenges commonly associated with incarceration, including PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and depression, while also equipping participants with the practical skills necessary for independent living.
OUR MISSION
Our mission at REleased-NOLA is to empower young men transitioning from incarceration by providing the support, resources, and guidance they need to reintegrate into society.
We are dedicated to helping them cope with anxiety, depression, and trauma associated with incarceration and reentry. Helping them to develop life skills, and build strong character, fostering a path toward stability, personal growth, and lasting change.
Through mentorship, job training, and community engagement, we strive to break the cycle of recidivism and create opportunities for a brighter future.
OUR VISION
We envision a New Orleans where second chances are celebrated, where every individual has access to the resources and dignity they deserve, and where justice-involved and underserved communities are uplifted through opportunity, equity, and compassion.
