Mission: Our mission is to assist returning citizens in successfully re-entering society. We work with current and formerly incarcerated adults to develop release plans, provide assistance with developing social skills, and obtain necessary and needed services in their local communities.

Results: We've successfully helped 12 men and women reenter back into their communities and also provided Christmas gifts to 28 children on behalf of their incarcerated parent. We are restructuring our program for a more structured curriculum and we hope to help more returning citizens in the near future!
