Building Bridges Community Experience

Welcome to the 2025 Building Bridges Community Experience! 
 

Thank you for partnering with us in creating a community response that will offer Hope, Opportunities, Mentoring, and Encouragement (H.O.M.E.) with our young justice-impacted neighbors. Our theme is H.O.M.E. for the Future

The Community Experience is designed for and by the Ohio reentry community. Here you will encounter a community of community leaders, government officials, non-profits, policy makers, faith & community-based organizations, correctional professionals, law enforcement personnel, legal services, academics, justice involved citizens, and others interested in learning about and developing better community reentry responses.

Our goal is to provide mutual learning environments and collaborative experiences that prepare and properly position people passionate about reentry to effectively strengthening Ohio's reentry continuum of care.

Welcome to this community where you will become more deeply committed to your community by being more deeply connected in community.
