The Santa Barbara County Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) invites community representatives to join the Reentry Steering Committee (RSC), a CCP subcommittee.

The RSC is a body of justice system representatives, community-based reentry professionals, and advocates working together to ensure individuals involved in the criminal justice system experience a successful transition from incarceration to community living.

The RSC is seeking to add voting members who represent the broad community affected by incarceration and involvement in the criminal justice system. RSC members can voice their expertise in a forum that helps set program priorities and express reentry needs to leaders of the county’s criminal justice system.

Formerly incarcerated, family members of the formerly incarcerated, advocates who are professionally involved in the treatment and/or rehabilitation and education of justice involved individuals are encouraged to apply to be on the committee.

To obtain an application, contact Lesley Stewart at lstewar@co.santa-barbara.ca.us. Application deadline is Nov. 6. Applicants must commit to attending six meetings a year — in January, March, May, July, September and November.
