Shepherd’s Staff is looking for a donated location to establish a center to provide: career clothing, a job search support group, and mentoring for men reentering society after prison release.
In time we hope to develop these programs to serve more segments of the community and women as well as men.

This program aims to help inmates with a plan of action prior to release for successfully reintegrating back into the community. Women volunteers will initially meet with the FCI Mentor Coordinator, pass a background clearance, and receive training (usually held in the evening). Mentors will meet with the inmate once a week or every other week for 6 to 9 months. Inmates (who all have two years or less left on their sentence) will participate in a Threshold class that focuses on spirituality and smart goals. Class size is usually around 10 to 12 inmates. A team of mentors is needed as well as volunteers to possibly teach a Threshold class.

The group will help families understand what to expect after someone they care about has been arrested, and how to cope before, during, and after their sentence. This is a safe and confidential environment.
