The Mayor’s Office of Reintegration Services (RISE) works closely with
enrolled participants to develop individualized plans focused on successful
and permanent reintegration and long-term self sustainability. Services
provided include case management, courses in life skills and job readiness,
linkages to various wrap around supports, and employment assistance.
As the City of Philadelphia’s ‘First Stop’ reentry agency, RISE works closely
with local, regional and national organizations to provide needed and
impactful services to aid in alleviating the barriers and pitfalls associated
with returning home from incarceration.
Employment is paramount to a successful and permanent transition from
incarceration. RISE works closely with an ever growing community of
employers who understand the challenges associated with obtaining and
maintaining employment post incarceration. Through hallmark strategies -
in collaboration with other City agencies - RISE looks to ensure local
employers a pipeline of talented men and women who are excited to extend
their passions, skill sets, and loyalty.
