Major Activities

Activity 2

Mentoring program: project return's mentoring program, "coaching for life", enacts what research as well as common wisdom tell us, which is that a person coming out of prison benefits greatly from having a mentor - another person from the community who knows the ex-offender, has his/her interests at heart, maintains a supportive relationship, and provides encouragement along the way. Prison inmates whose release is imminent are able to apply to become a part of the mentoring program. Project return trains mentors and pairs them with mentees, then monitors and supports the mentoring relationships on an ongoing basis. The ex-offender derives invaluable support, while the mentor has the opportunity to have a profound impact in another person's life. Grant revenue received for this program service was $90,134.

Activity 3

Ged/adult literacy program: because a high percentage of ex-offenders struggle with educational and learning deficits, project returns ged/adult literacy program offers learner-focused instruction tailed to meet the individual needs and goals of participants.
