Turning Leaf Project

Turning Leaf is a community-based organization operating in Charleston, South Carolina that equips men to succeed after prison. The program is pioneering in its approach. It combines behavioral therapy, one-on-one counseling, on-site transitional employment, and job placement to offer a proven model of prison re-entry with a 78% success rate. A giant step away from the traditional charity-based re-entry model of providing basic needs services, Turning Leaf focuses on equipping people with critical social, emotional, and workforce development skills and access to living wage employment. It creates a path to success after prison where one doesn’t currently exist.
