Since 1998, Life Connections has provided life skills training and personal development courses for individuals preparing to return to their families and communities after incarceration. Created by our founder, Glenn Smith, in partnership with the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office, the Re-Entry program is built on best practices, research, and decades of experience in reducing recidivism.
The Re-Entry program helps individuals take a close look at their past choices while building the tools needed for a stronger future. Participants engage in structured life skills courses that focus on:
These courses are designed for individuals who are committed to creating change in their lives and ready to take actionable steps toward becoming the person they want to be.
The program was developed with input from psychologists, instructional specialists, teachers, administrators, university professors, and researchers. This collaboration ensures that every course is comprehensive, evidence-based, and grounded in real-world outcomes.
Re-Entry programming is currently available in:
Re-entry is more than leaving incarceration, it’s about successfully rebuilding a life. By focusing on education, accountability, and personal growth, this program reduces the risk of reoffending and increases the likelihood of long-term stability for individuals and their families.
If you or someone you know is preparing for re-entry after incarceration, Life Connections can help build a path forward. Call (980) 999-3274 (DASH) or contact us online to learn more about our Re-Entry program.
