Tennessee Higher Education Commission: Assistant Director of Reentry Services
Each Tennessee region has a corps of Reconnect Reentry Navigators who work with adult Tennesseans who are either currently or formerly incarcerated to help them navigate the processes of choosing a college degree program, applying for financial aid, and enrolling in the institution, and then partner with the institution to support the student through to graduation. These Reconnect Reentry Navigators are led by a Navigate Reconnect Assistant Director of Reentry Services. The Assistant Director of Reentry Services is a key role within Tennessee’s Correction Education Initiative, leading Navigate Reconnect’s work with justice-impacted postsecondary students. They provide operational, collaborative, and strategic support to the Navigate Reconnect Regional Director, serving as the direct supervisor and support lead for the regional Reentry Navigator team, working with adult learners with histories of incarceration. $75,000-$85,000/yr
