Rural Works Reentry Services

RVR created the first rural proprietary program based on the widely acclaimed national workforce development model Cincinnati Works, which moves clients from poverty to sustainability.  For individuals returning from incarceration, we offer our Rural Works program, which focuses on workforce reintegration, mentoring, and stabilization support.

​

Rural Works serves two segments of the population: the currently unemployed and the underemployed, e.g., the working poor.  The long-term goal for the underemployed is for them to earn 200% of the federal poverty rate and move to economic self-sufficiency. Economically self-sufficient people become taxpayers and productive citizens who no longer require public assistance.
