Annette Corriveau

Program Manager

Annette Corriveau is one of our "lived experience" program managers.  Earlier, she’d been in and out of jail and couldn’t see her future.  She’d lost everything, became homeless, was desperate for change, and reached out for help.  She was introduced to Centerforce, who listened, understood her needs, and provided support.  "On Oct 17, 2017, I walked out of jail with just the clothes on my back," Annette said.  "I went back to school and became a State Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, had my felonies expunged, and went to work for Centerforce as a program case manager.  But the biggest accomplishment is getting to return to the jails and help women.  My life has gone full circle because of Centerforce’s support."
