At Reinvent Initiative (RI), we believe that change starts with community—and dedicated volunteers are the heart of that community. Whether you are looking to give back, gain experience, or be part of something bigger, volunteering with RI is an opportunity to make a real and lasting impact on the lives of individuals transitioning back into society.
