ExpiredHFP Huddle Up w/ Dave Durocher

HOPE for Prisoners Tuesday Night Huddle Up!  This Tuesday, June 7, 2022, from 6 pm-7:30 pm PST.  You can join us via Zoom or view the event on HOPE for Prisoners Facebook Live. We are very honored to have a great friend of HFP and subject matter expert Dave Durocher sharing his lived experience and the amazing work he is currently doing in Salt Lake City.  

Dave Durocher was arrested for the first time at the age of thirteen. By the time he was 38, he had been to prison four times for a total of fifteen years. Dave was arrested yet again, and this time he was facing a twenty-nine year prison sentence. In what the Judge called “the chance of a lifetime” he afforded Dave the opportunity to go to Delancey Street instead of prison but reminded Dave in no uncertain terms that if he didn’t complete his commitment at Delancey Street he would be spending the rest of his life in prison.

Now Dave has moved on to the next chapter in his life as the Executive Director of The Other Side Academy, in Salt Lake City, a two-year Life Skills Academy similar to Delancey Street, where men and women can come to learn about honesty, accountability, integrity, hard work and self-respect. All the traits that will insulate them from a life like the one Dave had and enable them to become the kind of person Dave is today.

Please join us as we come together for what is sure to be a wonderful time of learning and growth as we hear from one of our friends and amazing leaders.
