The Justice Services Division programs which Curtis directs (including CORE, M2M, SMI, LEAD, FEST and STARR) provide services via case managers and clinicians to an ever-growing population that has been impacted by unaffordable housing, decreased mental health services, mass incarceration, among a host of other factors.

Before joining Felton Institute, Curtis worked as the Director of Project Rebound at San Francisco State University. He managed day-to-day operations and supported justice impacted students to help them achieve their educational goals, and as a Reentry Consultant with Roots of Success.

Curtis has a master’s degree in Public Administration with an emphasis on Criminal Justice and Public Policy.

“My role as director of the Justice Division is never the same; it can be extremely challenging, but I get to make a difference in folks’ lives. I love my job and the diversity, atmosphere, and cutting-edge ideas that Felton represents.”
