A Global Hub for Supervision Practices

The concept for the SAW Project was born at the 2nd World Congress on Community Corrections in 2015, when SAW Founder Julie Truschel interviewed supervision professionals from around the world about what they were doing in community corrections. Today, the SAW Project continues this collaborative effort to review, share and learn from experts around the world so we can improve models, outcomes, communities, and lives. The SAW Project offers a global hub where industry professionals can learn, connect, and share insights. See what we are doing today!
