MAX Member Publishes The Advocate's Playbook: A Practical Guide with Insights and Strategies for Building Impactful Reentry Programs

July 19, 2025

From Amazon:

With nearly 70% of formerly incarcerated individuals rearrested within three years, the need for effective, sustainable reentry solutions has never been more urgent. Angela H. Marshall, a nationally recognized reentry strategist and nonprofit leader, reveals insider insights, proven frameworks, and real-world tactics that help advocates and organizations turn passion into measurable impact.

This book is more than theory—it’s a practical playbook packed with step-by-step strategies to help you design, build, and scale reentry programs that actually work. Whether you’re a nonprofit leader, a justice advocate, a policy influencer, or a community organizer, this guide empowers you to create meaningful change—one individual and one program at a time.

This book will help you discover how to:

  • Design reentry programs that meet real needs and drive real results
  • Align your mission with workforce development for lasting transformation
  • Secure strategic funding and build partnerships that sustain your vision
  • Mobilize your community for social justice and policy change
  • Confidently advocate for the people and policies that matter most
  • Measure impact so funders and stakeholders know your program works

Who This Book Is For:

  • Nonprofit professionals seeking sustainable funding
  • Government and civic leaders driving reentry reform
  • Advocates and social workers supporting returning citizens
  • Educators and counselors designing community-based solutions
  • Changemakers ready to build programs that get results, not just reports

About the Author:

Angela H. Marshall draws from decades of frontline experience in workforce reentry and nonprofit management. Her award-winning approaches have helped reduce recidivism, build lasting partnerships, and secure millions in funding for programs across the country. Now she’s opening up the playbook—so you can do the same in your city, your organization, and your community.

Excerpt from Author Angela H. Marshall:

There was one family I will never forget. I worked with them across a decade, first in child welfare, then in probation, and finally in parole. No matter which role I held, they reappeared. Each system documented them as chronically noncompliant or unmotivated, but no one acknowledged the deeper truth — that they were caught in a cycle of systems that could not, or would not, support their healing.

They were not revolving door clients by choice. They reflected what happens when services focus on surveillance instead of support. What they needed was not monitoring. They needed restoration. They needed stability, mental health care, and the kind of consistent, wraparound services that could hold them up just long enough for them to stand on their own.
