Get involved! How You Can Help:
-
Become a Mentor: Mentors are men and women of all faith backgrounds who have completed a comprehensive 17-hour training program. After the initial training, mentors are asked to commit five to eight hours a month for one year. The program matches men and women leaving incarceration with a mentor of the same gender.
Mentors offer support to participants in a variety of ways:
“Meet you at the gate” to assist participants immediately upon release.
One-to-one mentoring during the final months of incarcerations and for six months post-release.
Connecting participants with resources and opportunities.
Reconnecting participants with their faith communities.
Be a force for change in a person’s life!
-
Employ a Returning Citizen: Many returning citizens are eager to return to the workforce but face barriers to gainful employment because of their criminal record. Hiring a returning citizen will give them hope and a realization that they are welcomed back into their community. With your help and willingness to hire one of our participants, they will be well on their way to a successful new life.
Employers of ex-felons are eligible to receive up to $9,600 in Federal Tax Credit through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). Click here for more info: Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
