CORE - Community Opportunity Reentry Education

CORE - Community-Opportunity-Reentry-Education is a program dedicated to supporting individuals who are transitioning out of Washington state's correctional system. We are committed to helping justice involved individuals rebuild their lives and find a sense of belonging within their community.

Through mentorship, we offer guidance and support to help navigate the challenges faced during the reentry process. Additionally, we provide training and employment classes to enhance skills and increase our client’s chances of securing meaningful employment. Understanding the importance of stability, we offer assistance with obtaining housing, food and legal resources. Lastly, we ensure that basic needs such as clothing and hygiene products are met, as well as transportation options for those who need it.
