Rebuild. Reconnect. Succeed.
On Friday, July 3, 2026, Joliet Unity Movement is proud to partner with Dr. Elizabeth Protich, Ed.D., Senior Program Manager with HHCD to host Illinois Citizens Reentry Day, a day dedicated to celebrating second chances, strengthening families, and connecting our community with opportunities that change lives.
