Cameron Hayes

Cameron Hayes (He, Him) is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and peer worker

who focuses his lived experience in his work. Cameron entered prison as a teenager

and spent many years engaging in destructive behavior. However, due to an

intervention from a group of incarcerated restorative justice practitioners, Cameron

transformed his life. After nearly 14 years in prison, Cameron reentered our community

motivated to work to give others the second chance he was given. As the Director of

ReGroup Cameron focuses on the needs of those reentering our community and seeks to

follow the ReGroup “Thrive” model—making sure that reentering citizens not only

survive reentry, but thrive.
