E 360 Reentry That Works
A holistic, student-built, people-informed reentry framework created for people — not profits.
E360 Reentry That Works is a groundbreaking program redefining how communities support individuals transitioning out of system involvement. Built through collaborations with colleges, advocacy groups, and nonprofits, E360 demonstrates what becomes possible when young people, lived experience leaders, and system partners work together to reimagine reentry.
Our purpose is simple:
Make reentry programming accessible, empowering, and effective — for every youth, family, and adult navigating the reentry journey.
The Three Pillars of E360:
1
Community Resource Guide
Our Community Resource Guide is a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate directory of organizations, agencies, and programs that offer financial assistance, basic needs support, educational resources, and stabilization services.
Each entry includes:
-
Eligibility requirements
-
Services provided
-
How to access services
-
Wait times, required documentation, and contact details
This guide removes the guesswork from finding help and ensures that every person reentering the community has a clear, dependable map to support.

Independent Living Curriculum
Developed through collaboration with college students, professionals, and individuals with lived experience, the E360 curriculum teaches essential life skills often missing from traditional reentry programming.
Module topics include:
-
Household management
-
Workforce preparation
-
Prosocial development
-
Transportation & mobility
-
Financial literacy & budgeting
-
Healthcare navigation
-
Legal rights & responsibilities
Each lesson includes practical exercises, guided reflection, real-world scenarios, and a resource pathway to help learners build confidence, autonomy, and long-term stability.

Trivial Tuesday™ + Calamity Cards™ Simulation System
Our Trivial Tuesday™ + Calamity Cards™ system turns independent living into an interactive, real-life simulation experience.
Participants can either:
→ Choose a lesson they’re interested in, or
*→ Draw a Calamity Card and face “adulting on hard mode.”
Scenarios mirror real-world challenges:
-
Surprise medical expenses
-
Sudden job changes
-
Transportation breakdowns
-
Unexpected cash windfalls
-
Housing emergencies
-
Financial decisions with long-term consequences
Each card links directly to a lesson plan or community resource, helping participants learn how to think through crises, make informed decisions, and build resilience before real emergencies occur.
This system teaches not just what to do — but how to respond when life gets unpredictable.
WHY E360 EXISTS?
Because reentry shouldn’t be a maze. And independence shouldn’t be a privilege.
For too long, young people transitioning into adulthood—especially those impacted by foster care, juvenile justice, or behavioral health systems—have been handed binders, checklists, and “good luck.”
No roadmap.
No real-world practice.
No support that understands the chaos life throws at you at 2 a.m.
E360 was created to fix what the system overlooked:
The lived, messy, unpredictable reality of becoming an adult—while navigating trauma, poverty, legal history, or instability.
Built by lived experience and shaped in partnership with colleges, community leaders, and young adults themselves, E360 gives people what bureaucracy never could:
clarity, community, and tools that actually work.
Why E360 Reentry That Works Is Different
1. It’s built by people who lived it.
E360 didn’t come from a boardroom.
It came from lived experience—navigating Idaho’s reentry system, surviving on patchwork support, and identifying every gap that left youth unprepared for adulthood.
Our curriculum, scenarios, and handbooks exist because someone needed them and couldn’t find them.
2. It teaches the skills life actually demands.
Adulting isn’t theoretical.
It’s paperwork deadlines, surprise bills, difficult landlords, FAFSA errors, burnout, missed buses, unsafe relationships, job loss, and sudden “curveballs” that derail progress.
E360 prepares people for exactly that.
Through lesson plans, simulations, crisis practice, resource navigation, and financial decision-making, participants learn how to adapt—not just “comply.”
3. It reflects the world we live in—not the world policymakers imagine.
E360 acknowledges barriers like:
• stigma
• poverty cycles
• racial disparities
• transportation deserts
• trauma responses
• lack of intergenerational wealth
• bureaucratic chaos
• digital systems that assume privilege
Our approach accounts for these realities instead of ignoring them.
4. It’s student-powered and community-rooted.
Every workbook, resource, scenario, and toolkit is built with students—not for them.
College interns, youth advisors, and lived-experience contributors shape the content to ensure it’s relevant, culturally aware, and grounded in humanity.
E360 is proof of what becomes possible when young people create the solutions they wish they had.
5. It removes barriers—not creates new ones.
E360 is intentionally designed to be:
free for Idaho residents, easy to implement, adaptable, and trauma-conscious.
No licensing fees.
No expensive certifications.
No gatekeeping.
Just real tools for real life.
6. It brings hope back into the reentry journey.
Reentry too often focuses on survival.
E360 restores the other half of the story: thriving.
We teach young adults how to:
• build financial stability
• advocate for themselves
• navigate overwhelming systems
• handle crisis moments
• develop long-term vision
• write their own future—one they control
E360 is not just a curriculum.
It’s a pathway to possibility.
