Welcome Home Reentry Program

Welcome Home Reentry Program volunteer mentors live the Gospel mandate of serving those most in need and stigmatized by society. Through one-on-one support, individuals returning home from incarceration are reducing the obstacles they face. With a mentor, they navigate barriers and receive the emotional and social support necessary to encourage them to lead meaningful lives that include productive employment, pro-social activities, and healthy relationships.
