The Getting Out and Staying Out program offers young adults incarcerated in Rikers Island mentoring, transitional, and post-release services.
Young adults returning to the community after
incarceration are at a particularly high risk for becoming disconnected from
school and work. Getting Out and Staying Out (GO/SO) provides young adults
on Rikers Island with transitional and post-release services. The central
components of the program include mentoring, and post-discharge services leading
to educational, vocational training and employment opportunities.
Eligibility: Young adults 19 to
24 years old, who are being discharged from Rikers Island.
Partner Agency: Department of
Correction
