The Better Family Life St. Louis Metropolitan Amnesty Program is expanding to two campuses of St Louis Community College this year.
“The Amnesty Project enables individuals to re-engage within the workforce and educational systems by lifting all misdemeanor warrants,” said James Clark, BFL’s vice president of Community Outreach.
Vouchers are given to participants to settle their warrants without going to jail.
Organizers announced participating municipalities on Wednesday.
St. Louis area residents with misdemeanor warrants who wish to participate in this year’s amnesty program can go between the hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, August 6 to St. Louis Community College at Meramec- Theatre, 11333 Big Bend Road in Kirkwood. BFL Amnesty heads to The Ambassador Entertainment Center in North St. Louis County on Saturday August 10at 9800 Halls Ferry Blvd. and on Saturday, August 13, the amnesty site will be held at St. Louis Community College at Forest Park in the gymnasium, located at 5600 Oakland Ave.
“Last year we distributed over 14,000 vouchers. With the support of the St. Louis Community College, we hope to help even more individuals,” Clark says.
