SETTING THE NATIONAL STANDARD
National Peer ReEntry Professional Certification
Built by and for people with lived experience.
1 in 2 families are impacted by incarceration.
The most powerful reentry support comes from someone who's made the journey themselves. The National Peer ReEntry Professional Certification (NPRPC) is the first national credential built on that truth.
What is the NPRPC?
Rooted in Lived Experience
To earn this certification, candidates must have lived experience with incarceration.
