Oar of Tompkins County
Opportunities Alternatives and Resources (OAR) of Tompkins County has been dedicated to protecting the civil liberties of incarcerated individuals since 1976. By providing essential services such as legal representation for those who cannot afford it and helping eligible individuals secure bail pre-trial, OAR strives to support clients through their legal challenges and reduce the risk of conviction.
In addition to legal assistance, OAR offers transitional sober housing through its Endeavor House and Sunflower House programs, as well as educational pathways via the College Initiative Upstate. Their Drop-In Center serves as a vital resource for individuals re-entering society, providing internet access, job search assistance, and connections to necessary services, thereby facilitating a smoother reintegration into the community.
