Pretrial Support Team Join Us!
April 13 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
You are invited to join us for our third UUCC Pretrial Support Team training cohort!
What is the problem and what do we do?
Many people standing trial in Cuyahoga County end up back in jail just for missing a court date, an unnecessary burden on them and the taxpayer-funded system.
The non-profit Pretrial Support Team offers free, one-on-one assistance— personal calls, transportation, and community resources—to guide clients successfully through pretrial.
With support, our clients show up and stay in the community during trial, keeping their jobs and families intact.
You as a volunteer Navigator are the heart of our project to provide support to people. Our current Navigators have been doing a great job in keeping people out of jail. Now that our caseload is expanding, we need more Navigators. Join us!
Our first session will be Sunday April 13th in UUCC Fellowship Hall from 2-3:30.
The 4-session schedule is:
Sunday 4/13 in FH 2-3:30 pm Introduction: What we do and how we do it
Monday 4/21 online at 12 pm Conversation with The Public Defender’s Office
Sat 5/10 in FH 2pm – 3:30 pm Boundaries and Compassion Training
Sat 5/17 in FH 2pm-3:30 pm How to document what we do
Refreshments will be served.
