Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Community Reentry Resource Center

WELCOME TO THE HARRY & JEANETTE WEINBERG COMMUNITY REENTRY RESOURCE CENTER

Located at our Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Community Reentry Resource Center in Baltimore at 4900 E. Monument St., VOA Works is an employment and training program designed to remove barriers to employment by building strong partnerships. VOA Works prepares participants for employment by providing a structured program that will address non-skill related barriers for employment for returning citizens and other at-risk populations.

In Maryland, an estimated 10,000 incarcerated adults are released into their communities each year without the opportunities and support needed to maximize their potential. As a result, roughly 40 percent of these individuals reoffend within three years of release. This problem is amplified within the city limits of Baltimore, which is home to 30 percent of people incarcerated in Maryland. Here at Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas, we work to provide the second chance this underserved population needs to succeed through our community re-entry services and the VOA Works program.
