Upcoming Events
At Dismas House of Indiana, we believe that real understanding comes through proximity and shared experiences. Our events are more than just gatherings—they are opportunities to listen, learn, and connect with those directly impacted by the challenges of reentry. By centering the voices of individuals with lived experience, including our residents, alumni, and community partners, we create spaces where stories are shared, perspectives shift, and meaningful change begins. Whether through panel discussions, volunteer opportunities, or community celebrations, our events foster dialogue, break down stigma, and build stronger connections. Join us as we learn, grow, and support the journey home together.
