Active Re-Entry: Who We Are
Active Re-Entry became incorporated as a 501c3 in 1987. We serve the seven counties of Eastern Utah - from the Wyoming to the Arizona border - just over 27,000 square miles. The seven counties within the service district include - Dagget, Duchesne, Uintah, Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan. Active Re-Entry is a community based program which assists individuals with disabilities to achieve or maintain self-sufficient, productive lives and live independently within their own communities.
