A Must-Have Training for Justice Organization Leaders – Get Your Staff Certified!
Social Capital Certification for Justice Organizations
Equip Your Staff to Reduce Violence & Improve Outcomes
Research shows that strong social capital is a key predictor of employment, stability, and reduced recidivism. Justice-involved individuals provided with the training and skills to build strong pro-social connections are far more likely to secure jobs, housing, and support—breaking the cycle of reoffending.
This 3-hour virtual certification gives your staff the evidence-based strategies to help clients build the relationships they need for long-term success.

Why This Training Is Essential for Your Team
Frontline staff excel at engaging justice-impacted individuals—but how strong are their connections to the essential services clients need? In our work with over 1,000 frontline justice professionals, 85% admit they lack strong ties to the organizations and services their clients rely on.
Too often, access to critical resources—employment, housing, mental health support, mediation, and more—depends on the strength of social capital within the human services community. Without strategic connections, frontline staff struggle to link clients to the right support at the right time.
No organization can do it alone. Research proves that social capital is the missing link in reducing recidivism and improving long-term outcomes. This training equips your team to identify key resource providers, build meaningful connections, and create pathways to life-changing opportunities.
Led by nationally recognized experts Edward DeJesus & Charles Dotson, this culturally competent, impact-driven training provides the strategies your staff need to activate social capital, strengthen networks, and drive real results.
What Makes This Training a Game-Changer?
Reduces Isolation & Strengthens Belonging
Many justice-involved individuals suffer from disconnection from positive developmental supports. Social capital strategies foster belonging and create strong support networks crucial for successful reintegration.
Enhances Access to Resources & Services
Relationships open doors—to housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities that justice-involved individuals struggle to access alone.
Improves Mental & Emotional Well-being
A strong support system reduces stress, builds self-worth, and provides the encouragement necessary to overcome barriers.
Builds Community & Reduces Recidivism
When individuals have strong, positive relationships, they are far less likely to reoffend—making communities safer and reducing reentry program strain.
Fosters Economic Opportunity
It’s not just what they know, or even who they know—it’s about who knows them, trusts them, and is willing to advocate for them.
🚀 Let us show your team how to help clients transform into hireable, trusted professionals.
