Transforming Lives, One Returning Citizen At A Time
Welcome to VIP Reentry Services, where we believe having someone who knows life on the inside, who is now successful on the outside can be the key to your success as a productive member of society.
Our VIP Reentry Coaches will assist you on your journey to becoming the best version of yourself!
Our Vision
Our Vision is to keep you alive and out of prison by dealing with the root cause of the issue. Changing the criminal mindset and renewing hope, love and self worth. We see safer communities for you and your children through the power of Trust, Training and Transformation.
Mission Statement
Reentry begins behind the fences!
The Mission of VIP Reentry Services is to reduce crime and recidivism by providing returning citizens (RC) mental toughness and vocational training while on the inside so they can obtain and maintain a livable wage job with the possibility of turning it into a career when they return to their community on the outside. Our partnership with FIU Construction Trades and Department of Corrections will allow both men and women to receive vocational pre/apprenticeship trades training that will transform their lives. The key to our success is assigning a REENTRY COACH who will mentor and follow up with RC for one year to assist with any barriers they may encounter. We have the Reentry formula.
Success Stories

Sarah recently received a promotion at her job and is about to receive her Associates in Science. She learned from her mistakes and has turned her life around for the good. She plans on sharing her success story to young ladies who find themselves where she once was.
She said “And thank you for everything you’ve done for us. I promise a lot of the stuff I learned has stuck with me!”
Meet Mr. Ceaser
Mr. Ceaser returned home after 27 years. We met at the Reentry Center where I go in regularly to facilitate a reentry class that prepares them to face the challenges they will encounter on the outside. Today I did a home visit to go over his short term goals and to set up an action plan so he can start on his path of success. He is working and doing great.
