At G.O.D, we prioritize the needs of justice-impacted individuals, particularly women and survivors of gun and domestic violence. Our direct reentry pathway training includes job readiness programs, workforce development, entrepreneurship services, and access to case management and counseling. We also offer immediate mutual aid through emergency basic needs care packages, ensuring individuals have essential supplies during their first 30 days post-release or starting over.
