CSI offers a variety of classes to help our clients – as well as others in the community – gain critical life skills that will help them be successful.
Benefits of becoming a CSI Client
Anyone who is 18 or older who has had a conviction of any kind – even if it did not involve incarceration – can explore becoming a CSI client.
If you are interested, start by taking our assessment. Once you have done that, a member of CSI’s staff will contact you to discuss next steps.
As a client, you’ll get:
- Access to CSI Resources to support housing, employment and other pressing needs
- Coaching through life skills training
- A network of resources and like-minded individuals to support you on your life’s journey.
