Circles of Support and Accountability

Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) are community-based groups designed to help former offenders reintegrate safely and prevent re-offending. These circles include trusted community members who meet regularly to support the individual in maintaining positive lifestyle choices, adhering to release plans, and addressing challenges. The focus is on accountability, providing encouragement, and creating a network of support that promotes responsible behavior. CoSA emphasizes community involvement, understanding, and ongoing communication to foster safer neighborhoods and assist individuals in making lasting, positive changes.
