CHIC RE-ENTRY (R3)

CHIC provides intensive individual, group, and family mentorship and case management for women and girls who are impacted by violence and/or the criminal justice systems.

CHIC WORKFORCE

CHIC provides social, emotional, cultural and career enrichment for women who face barriers to economic mobility. CHIC’s Career Essentials program is built on foundations of healing, wellness, and essential employability skills. Upon that foundation, CHIC layers industry-specific training opportunities. We have begun with a pre-apprenticeship in the construction trades, and will be launching entrepreneurial and healthcare pathways in the next three years.

Hill

“CHIC is, I feel like it’s kind of like black girl, like excellence. They teach us a lot of stuff about just like your physical life, your daily life, your mental health and yes, just stuff like around that. They taught me to learn how to embrace, my, like as a black girl.”

“We do a lot of creative thinking, mind stuff and we learn about things really. I think we did something for the Black History Month or something like that. I think so. But uh, yeah, it is just fun and I enjoy being there.”

“CHIC is a good place to go because it helps you understand things in your life. And they help you about your emotions and stuff.”

CHSC

“I would tell them that’s a class for people to speak up their mind and open up and to be heard, because I know sometimes people find it hard to say what’s on their mind and just open up. And that class it’s like the opposite. It helps you improve in school or as a person in general.”

“CHIC to me is like a girl supporting group. It has good opportunities. They help you find opportunities and just being around them is, like makes you feel better.”
