Programs
What we do
Preparation before release and steady, accountable companionship after.
Pre-release
Life Planning Workshops
Free workshops for people likely to be released within twelve months. Each participant leaves with a personal reentry plan.
Workshops help each participant build a personal reentry plan that addresses key challenges such as:
- Applying Godly principles to daily life
- Finding safe, affordable housing away from negative influences
- Securing stable, satisfying employment
- Managing stress and avoiding substance abuse
- Handling finances and building savings
- Growing a lasting relationship with Jesus, supported by a community of believers
Pre-release workshops are only available where permitted by individual prison leadership. Where access isn't permitted, we may offer workshops after release if a group of clients is interested and available on an agreed date. Otherwise, mentors share workshop material based on each client's needs.
Post-release
Mentoring
Once a client is released, we pair them with a trained mentor, sometimes alongside an alternate mentor, who provides consistent encouragement and accountability.
Our mentors:
- Respect clear boundaries between their private life and the client's
- Don't act as the solver of every problem, and never provide money directly to clients
- Don't offer legal advice
- Connect clients with governmental and private resources as needed
