Fill out our brief application online. We welcome all children of incarcerated parents between the ages of 10 and 25, regardless of their family's current circumstances. No paperwork walls, no long wait lists.
Once we receive your application, our team reaches out personally. We match your child with a mentor or counselor who truly fits their needs and makes them feel seen from day one.
With your child being a part of a group of young individuals that “get it,” they will have the opportunity to learn and develop the skills necessary to take control of their life’s narrative.
We join families, mentors, volunteers, and community partners year-round. Each event provides us with an opportunity to offer the children of prisoners something that they don’t have enough of; a hall filled with people who believe in them.
You do not have to have all the answers, as long as you are prepared to take part in it. This may be through your donations, volunteerism, mentorship, or any other form, as long as it is important to that child counting on you.
Children and youth ages 10-25 whose parent(s) or primary care takers are currently or formerly incarcerated attend our programs. We also have case management and counseling support for the extended family system as healing for one person is done more effectively if the extended family system is also supported.
Yes. Every service we offer—from telehealth counseling to peer mentoring—is completely free for youth and caregivers. No family should have to choose between basic needs and mental health support. Our work is fully funded by our community of donors and partners.
Simply fill out the brief enrollment form on our website. After we receive your application, our team will schedule a short intake call to learn more about the child’s needs and match them with the right program. We make the onboarding process easy, confidential, and welcoming.
