In the community, New Leaf – New Life operates a Transition Support Center. Many people are released from jail with nothing but the clothes they were wearing when arrested. New Leaf – New Life works together with clients to develop and reach their goals and make a successful transition.

Released inmates are welcomed at our Transition Support Center (TSC) located at 1010 S. Walnut St., Suite H where we provide short-term & long-term assistance, specifically:

• Immediate help (e.g., emotional support, help in accessing social services, clothing, hygiene products)
• Job counseling (e.g., resume building, job searches, computer skills training)
• Casework (e.g., addiction counseling & supervision)

The Re-entry Collective is a group of individuals passionate about finding systemic solutions for individuals re-entering society. All are welcome to attend. We meet at the TSC at 1010 S. Walnut St., Suite H:

• First Sunday of the month at 3:30 PM: planning & organizing session (all welcome)
• Second Sunday of the month at 3:30 PM at NLNL: broader public meeting or workshop

In March (2019), we'll also be having various trainings for volunteers.  See the Facebook page for more info.
The Re-entry Collective has been instrumental in providing resources such as the New Leaf Resource Guide 1.7.pdf

Starting on January 13, 2020, and in partnership with Indiana Legal Services and the Mauer School of Law at IU, we will be offering a Bloomington Expungement Helpdesk, Mondays & Wednesdays, 4-8pm, at the Transition Support Center.  See this flyer for details on applying.
