WHY I SERVE
I serve because I believe that everyone deserves a fair shot at reaching a brighter future no matter what their circumstances are.
I’ve felt the barriers of re-entry into the community and my life experiences are what drive me to advocate for others so they may contribute to better society. I serve because MNSCC focuses on repairing a broken criminal justice system by educating and empowering individuals and communities.
