Local groups promote reentry workshops, job fair and a community events calendar
Summary
HOPE Team members promoted an intern-run 2nd Chance Workshop June 17 for license reinstatement and expungement screenings, a planned August job-and-resource fair, and a new shared events website; a community member described a paid lived-experience advisory council to refine a reentry bill before legislative outreach.
An intern described the 2nd Chance Workshop—a free, first-come/first-serve event on June 17 at Bainbridge Fieldhouse offering license-reinstatement help, expungement screening and vendor services such as HIV and hepatitis testing and a shoe giveaway. "It is completely free, and it is 1st come, 1st serve," the intern said and distributed flyers and a QR code for later sign-ups.
Other community organizers promoted a citywide job-and-resource fair (now targeted for Aug. 12 at Ivy Tech) and a planned public events website to centralize listings for nonprofit partners. A community member said she'd formed a lived-experience advisory council—four paid sessions, virtual and in-person—to refine a reentry program and an accompanying bill before taking it to the legislature; she sought partnerships from attendees to pilot the work.
