The Center for Community Transitions

The Center for Community Transitions is a community development program focused on assisting individuals and families impacted by the justice system in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Founded in 1974, their mission has always been to strengthen communities, rebuild lives, and reduce recidivism through employment opportunities. The Center for Community Transitions meets its mission through three key programs. LifeWorks! provides practical training, employment seeking assistance, help in defining personal values, and assistance with changing thoughts and behaviors to better match those values. Families Doing Time provides a continuum of services to families of incarcerated individuals through family events, support groups, information sharing, and training for professionals. The Center for Women is a 30-bed residential program for women who are still incarcerated and eligible to participate in a reentry program. The reentry program assists with transition planning and action plans including employment, family reunification, housing, and other individual needs. The Center for Community Transitions can be contacted directly for more information on their programs and services.
