Abubakr Muhammed Karim
2005
Milton Eisenhower Foundation
Karim will undertake an effort to replicate a model re-entry program in Washington, DC, run for and by men and women who were previously incarcerated, former substance abusers, or diversion sanctioned probationers. A seasoned community economic development practitioner, activist, and academician, Karim will spearhead the organizing and implementation process for a set of innovative reintegration strategies that provide sustainability through self-supporting businesses, intensive
life-skills training, higher educational achievements, and long-term residential accommodation. He seeks to network this project with similar replication projects now being developed in other U.S. cities, in an effort to provide affordable and practical reentry solutions to policymakers and to change the way average Americans think about previously incarcerated people.
