Laura Kepler, founder of The Nxt Chapter in Denver, loves helping people connect to resources for mental health, employment, educational training and more.
DENVER – Like the men and women in the organization she created helps, Josephine Burton knows what it’s like to be in jail. She was once sentenced to seven years of community corrections and spent two years in jail.
“I struggled to get employment, because of my criminal background,” she said. “I was struggling in the fields of trying to get a job that would fit me in and help take care of my, you know, my family.” “We will connect you with all the resources for mental health. We will connect you with resources for employment. We will connect you with resources for vocational and educational training,” she said before smiling and adding, “And our GED program right now is awesome.”
“When they first started The Nxt Chapter, they provided resources where it got me some clothes for interviews,” Kenny recalled. “I've been working on that same job that they supply for me and what they gave me a reference to.”
