Mission Statement
1. Helping formerly incarcerated persons back on their feet. 2. Reducing crime in the community.
About This Cause
Through a network of community partners, we work with men and women in prison, former prisoners, people in transition, and their families through our "Resource Center Without Walls". We provide small group training and individual mentoring in general life skills, leadership, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and areas related to transitioning back into family and community life. We also convene gatherings that provide the opportunity for people with life experience with the criminal justice and prison systems to network with each other, exchange knowledge and resources, and solve problems. These gatherings usually take the shape of family sessions to strengthen family relationships as well as support and empowerment groups for prisoners and former prisoners. We also collaboratively convene roundtables for people to learn more about the criminal justice and prison systems from people with real life experiences, and organize advocacy efforts around related issues. We identify appropriate community resources and broker relationship building between formerly incarcerated persons and the needed resources; we will specifically inventory and connect people to: * businesses that may hire formerly incarcerated persons, work-release inmates, and youth. * training programs that enhance the participants opportunities of obtaining a good job with opportunities for advancement and career development. * housing programs * family counseling programs * substance abuse counseling and recovery programs * mental health counseling * other services as needed
