Valuing Data and Individuals with Similar Experiences

In collaboration with the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and the University of North Carolina School of Government, RTI International will host a virtual training series entitled “Leveraging the Secret Sauce of Relationships to Improve Reentry Outcomes: The Value of Social Capital.”

As part of this series, four bi-weekly training webinars will explore strategies for fostering relationships in reentry programs for individuals returning to their communities following incarceration. This virtual training series for managers of programs working with individuals with criminal records will:

• Provide an overview of social capital and describe why it can be so valuable to increase the social capital of individuals with criminal records;
• Offer concrete examples of ways programs across the country are working to develop and foster relationships for this population and the outcomes they are seeing as a result; and
• Explore ways and considerations for measuring social capital and relationships in programs.

This is the first webinar in the series.
