WHAT IS A PARDON COACH? Requesting a pardon has become much easier, and since 2019, Pennsylvania has been leading the nation in pardon reform. The key to a successful pardon request is the application. Many people need assistance in sharing their stories and demonstrating how they have changed since their initial legal troubles. As a volunteer Pardon Coach, you can provide that crucial support. The training is free and takes only an hour. Do you want to help transform lives in Berks County? If so, please email: PardonProject@connectionswork.org. For more information about the Pardon Project of Berks County, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eJnX7pMx #ConnectionsWork #ConnectionsWorkRocks #BerksCounty #ReadingPA #Pardon #PardonCoach #Volunteer
