Why do you come to work at Root & Rebound every day?

From somebody who has been impacted by incarceration, I feel like it is my duty to give back to my community. Give people who have been affected by the criminal justice system alternatives, opportunity, and open doors that for so many years have been shut. In order to see change you have to be the change.
