🌟 Introducing Faithful Pathways: Empowering Second Chances Through Community 🌟 At Persevere, we know breaking the cycles of poverty and incarceration takes more than job skills—it takes a holistic approach. That’s why we’ve launched Faithful Pathways, a new partnership program where faith communities can directly support life-changing reentry services for justice-involved individuals. With a commitment of $3,000 per year, your faith community can fund a full year of comprehensive reentry support for one person. Together, we can transform lives through faith, community, and second chances. 🙏 Want to learn more?
