GLUE: Getting Literacy in Urban Environments
A community reintegration program for male citizens returning from incarceration
What We Do
GLUE is a community reintegration program for male citizens returning from incarceration. Our program is designed to give opportunities to men recently released from imprisonment to prepare them for success.
GLUE aims to lower recidivism and unemployment rates. It is our hope to also provide mentorship to at-risk youth by offering prevention services that combat the use of drugs, alcohol, anger and violence within our communities.
Our Work With Youth
At GLUE, we stick together.
We work alongside male youth to provide mentoring and therapeutic resources as a preventative measure to crime and misconduct and we offer alternative means to reach success.
Life Beyond The Bars
GLUE works to encourage returning citizens that there is still life beyond the bars.
Our founder, Kareem, has experienced the difficulties of reintegration and has made it his life’s work to ensure that you are successful in your journey of rebuilding. Read his story here.
Transformation Through Mentorship
We take giving back to another level with our mentoring program. Our mentors have successfully overcome several obstacles and have proven to be committed to giving back and our philosophy that “We Stick Together”.
We are always looking for committed mentors to collaborate and expand our vision. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact us.
