Pickup Service
When men and women are released from the prisons south of
Boise, sometimes they do not have any means of transportation. We will drive
out to the prison and be there to greet these individuals as soon as they exit
the facility. We are the very first people they interact with out of the
prison. From there, we will bring them to the reentry services office, where we
will provide first day out services.
First Day Out Services
Having a successful reentry into society starts with day one. Connecting with the right resources and community is crucial. When someone enters the reentry services office they will be connected with a reentry services expert. This reentry expert will work to understand the returning citizen’s story and individual needs. This way, they can tailor the First Day Out services to better match their unique situation. The most common services we provide are Clothing Vouchers, Information on Other Community Resources, Parole Guidance, Links to Receptive Groups and Communities, Introduction to Employment Services, and much more.
Employment Services
One of the biggest challenges for returning citizens is finding sustainable employment. The recidivism rate skyrockets when returning citizens cannot find employment fairly rapidly.
St. Vincent de Paul Reentry Services can provide the following possible assistance:
- Initial interview/assessment
- Resume help
- Transportation/clothing assistance
- Career counseling
- Job search assistance
- Direct job referrals
- Follow up
