Most people think reentry ends with a job and housing.

That's where the real work begins.

What We Do

ReGroup is a peer-led mutual aid reentry support network and a program of Transformative Justice Community.

Day 1 Support

This is what many associate with the term "reentry": immediate support needs such as housing, jobs, and resource connections.

2

Community Support

ReGroup's Credible Messengers come alongside community members and provide ongoing mentorship, community, and monthly ReGroup Meetings.

Leadership Support

A small cohort of returning citizens receive training to become employed leaders and mentors.

What are Credible Messengers?

People with lived experience who have transformed their lives without betraying where they came from. ReGroup employs Credible Messengers to mentor, resolve conflict, and embody that transformation.

Find a Meeting Near You

ReGroup hosts monthly community network and support meetings open to anyone wishing to attend, regardless of county or program involvement. Participants frequently bring spouses, partners, and family to these supportive spaces. Our meetings provide collective support and serve as a mobilizing ground for criminal justice reform issues and career development. (Felon-friendly employers have hired straight from this group!) Attendees describe meetings as a safe-space where they can truly be themselves.

 

There is no other open support group for re-entry in the state of Oregon.
