Seeking Mentors with a Unique Perspective
We are actively seeking formerly incarcerated individuals who are willing to serve as mentors for our new initiative, the Reentry Readiness Program. If you have navigated the challenges of re-entering society and are passionate about supporting youth who are still incarcerated, we need your insight and guidance. This program aims to prepare mentees for a successful transition by connecting them with mentors who truly understand the journey they are about to undertake.
Join us to make a meaningful difference in their lives.
