Adult Mentorship
Also facilitated by Credible Messengers, the Adult Mentorship Program serves close to 200 mentees per year. Special funding has been received to serve 18- to 60-year-olds on Post-Release Community Supervision individualized support and comprehensive wrap-around services. Curriculums include The Courage to Change (Social Values; Responsible Thinking; Self Control; Peer Relationships; Family Ties; Substance Use) and Parents on a Mission, which addresses self confidence and self-imposed guilt, and targets how to deal with feelings of failure. The goal of this program is to help adults successfully re-engage with their communities following incarceration and to avoid recidivism, as well as providing a bridge to support tumultuous parent/child relationships. Mentors have lived experience and are trained to work with traumatized individuals. The program is funded by fundraising, contracts and grants.
