CPO in the News: Equipping Lives Through Carpentry in Evanston

We’re grateful to Evanston Now for highlighting the impact of our carpentry training program in their recent article, “Building Houses, Rebuilding Lives.”

The story shares how Chicagoland Prison Outreach is offering hands-on carpentry classes in Evanston, helping formerly incarcerated men and women gain real-world skills and a renewed sense of purpose.
