TEAM INTERRUPTERS

The mission of Team Interrupters Inc (TII) is to create innovative reentry models and assist public and private community stakeholder organizations by advancing programming currently in existence. The objective of TII is to facilitate a three-prong approach: Prevention - for high school youth confronted with negative internal and external environmental factors that often lead to criminal behavior; Pre-Release - creating exit strategies for those who are currently incarcerated; and Post-Release - for returning citizens who work with Peer-Bridgers to expand assistance re-assimilating into society after a period of incarceration. Peer-Bridgers are individuals with lived experience who understand the current landscape of support services in the City of Elizabeth and Union County.
