Dedication and Service
I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you as we embark on an inspiring journey together at The Reentry Institute Of America (TRIOA). My name is Tarik Greene, and I am honored to serve as the CEO/Founder of this transformative initiative where industry meets reentry.
At TRIOA, our purpose is clear: to establish a "prison to professional" pipeline, creating opportunities for individuals to break free from the chains of generational poverty and trauma. We firmly believe that every person deserves a fair chance at a good life, after they've paid their debt to society for past criminal legal involvement.
Our vision is to bridge the gap between industry and reentry, leading the charge in educating America's leading industries about the concept of Fair Chance Hiring. We advocate for, and implement, best practices that leverage the untapped potential of a workforce eager to rebuild their lives and contribute meaningfully to society.
To achieve this vision TRIOA takes a holistic approach. We not only strive to educate industries but also prepare our residents and clients for a path to self-sufficiency. We provide modern housing and equip individuals with a comprehensive toolkit for success. This toolkit includes essential components such as financial literacy, mentoring, job readiness training, soft skills development, and a range of wrap-around services designed to address individual needs.
Our commitment extends beyond providing opportunities; we are dedicated to fostering an environment where individuals can flourish, becoming responsible and productive members of society. By investing in the holistic development of our residents, we believe in unlocking their full potential, breaking the cycle of homelessness and eradicating chronic unemployment tied solely to past criminal legal involvement.
As we embark on this journey, I invite you to join us in making a lasting impact. Your support and engagement will contribute significantly to the success of our residents and the realization of a fair and inclusive society. Together, we can create positive change, one individual at a time.
Thank you for being part of The Reentry Institute Of America family. I look forward to the remarkable transformations and accomplishments we will achieve together.
Warm Regards,
Tarik Greene, CEO/Founder
