Welcome!
Just Like Us (JLU) is a non-profit organization with a mission to strengthen families and enrich the lives of children by empowering people and individuals re-entering communities to achieve self-sufficiency through training, education and other supportive services. Just Like Us uses a family development approach to lead families along with ex-offenders through a 24-month program resulting in self-sufficiency and community integration.
History
JLU was founded by Marc and Jana Crosby in 2001. Having navigated their own re-entry process, Marc and Jana understand the challenges ex-offenders and their families face in re-entering communities. Their personal experience, combined with their professional skills and intense commitment to improving access and quality of services for the re-entry population, have resulted in the successful development of the Just Like Us family re-entry program.

In 2011, Just Like Us Enrichment Center will be celebrating our ten year anniversary. Check back soon for more information about how we will mark this important milestone!
