On Friday, February 21, Community Linkage Specialist Vincent Swinnie was honored by the city of Mount Vernon for his work at the City of Mount Vernon Second Chance Summit. City Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard honored him and his fellow co-founders of Taking Responsibility & Uniting Communities Through Education (T.R.U.C.3.)
In his work at Alliance, Vincent helps dozens of people adjust to life after incarceration. He provides essential harm reduction and career-readiness skills to set people up for long-term success. He spoke at the Summit’s panel “Rewrite the Script: Changing the Narrative of Our Lives,” sharing personal stories and motivations that have helped him and the countless people he’s positively influenced rewrite their narratives.
