“I’ve always leaned toward advocacy, and have always admired people whose role in life has been to fight for justice and stand up for people who’ve been oppressed.”

Root & Rebound’s Executive Director Katherine Katcher was recently featured in Columbia College Today. In the piece, Katherine discusses some of the ideas that lead her to found Root & Rebound, the values that she’s worked to cultivate among her team, and her efforts to scale the model they’ve developed to meet the needs of communities most impacted by incarceration.
