This immersive, high-impact workshop places you directly into the lived experience of reentry. Over the course of a simulated week, participants must navigate employment, housing applications, transportation barriers, parole check-ins, family responsibilities, and the constant decision-making pressure that returning citizens face. Designed and facilitated by Trent Griffin-Braaf, a dynamic entrepreneur who rebuilt his own life after incarceration and now helps others do the same, this simulation meaningfully shifts mindset, deepens empathy, and strengthens career readiness. If you are interested in a career in social work, criminal justice, human services, counseling, education, public health, business government or non-profit work, this workshop offers real world insight you won't get in a classroom. Refreshments will be served. Register for the workshop.
