Project Rebound is a student success program that supports current and future Chico State students who have been incarcerated in prison, jail, immigration detention centers, and/or juvenile detention centers. We provide wrap-around services to our students such as mentoring, social support, and connection to resources on and off campus. Chico State’s Project Rebound launched in August 2023
