NXT Chapter is a 501c3 Organization that believes poor decisions should not warrant the dehumanization of an individual. The NXT Chapter is here to change the narrative of such people. The focus of NXT Chapter is to assist ex-offenders reduce the recidivism rate. We provide reentry services to persons leaving the criminal legal system greatly improve their chances of successful reintegration into society.
$50 - Provides transportation for work and legal appointments.
$100 - Provides a NXT Chapter client upon release with hygiene backpacks.
$2500 - Covers the cost of mental health training support for 24 months to each client.
We want to accommodate ex-offenders with essentials upon release from incarceration. We help to obtain I.D. cards, clothing, hygiene items, bus fare, along with employment resources. We were making the transition back into society a smooth one.
1) Essential Tangible Items - We supply hygiene backpacks and community support for housing, food, and transportation.
2) Job Placement - Finding stable employment is often a significant challenge for individuals with a record. Job placement helps rebuild their lives and the lives of their family. In turn, ex-offenders become self-sufficient.
3) Parole Support - The NXT Chapter Founders have created a program to break the barriers to reintegration. Upon release, an ex-offender is given reporting requirements that the criminal legal system requires for a successful parole. NXT Chapter has broken these requirements into manageable, attainable assignments, which leads to successful outcomes.
4) Mental Health Education – Josephine Burton, the architect of the S.E.E.D. ™ - Self Educating Empowering Developer mental health education curriculum. The NXT Chapter team conducts weekly S.E.E.D. sessions to develop the life skills needed to experience a better quality of life. The three key components are 1) Setting Realistic Goals, 2) Cognitive Thinking, and 3) Self Esteem Building. The S.E.E.D. ™ program, along with W.R.A.P – (Wellness Recovery Action Plan), is a proven tool that assists clients in coping with life challenges, addictions, trauma, developmental dysfunctions, justice involvement, and mental health. We have an education curriculum for the youth 13-25 years of age separate from the adults 25 years of age and older.
In the three years of operation and over 200 participants, we have had a success rate of 99%.
Currently, the NXT Chapter is a volunteer-based organization. Please help us continue to make a difference in the lives of people reentering society to live their NXT Chapter differently. Thanks for your support!
