ORGANIZATION: AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP in New York City/CSSNY

Volunteers are trained in basic NYS Law to serve as record repair counselors for people with conviction histories looking to stabilize their lives. Most clients are referred by employment training programs. For a minimum of three (3) hours a week, NDP volunteers can help a participant with a conviction history map a pathway out of poverty.
