ARCHS is partnering with the Missouri Dept. of Corrections to implement an innovative mentoring program at two Missouri prisons (Pacific and Vandalia, MO). We will serve both men and women who will receive mentoring at pre and post release from Missouri's prisons.

T.O.U.C.H. is a group and individual mentoring-centered reentry program. Using a personalized approach, we aim to help individuals take charge of the change they want to see in their life. In addition to mentoring, we provide life skills workshops, as well as essential transitional services and referrals.

The Believe in Y.O.U.T.H. (Youth Offenders Utilizing Transitional Services for a Healthy Recovery) Mentoring Program (BIY) is a collaboration between the Cobb County Juvenile Court, Cobb County Department of Juvenile Justice, and Cobb County Community Services Board. The program's purpose is to support the successful and safe transition of juvenile offenders from correctional facilities to their communities as well as to reduce recidivism among juvenile ex-offenders. The mentoring program uses adult volunteers to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of at least six months in an effort to help them make positive life choices.

The Community Justice Project (“C.J.P.”) is a collaborative between the Minneapolis Police Department, the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches, and the Hennepin County Adult Correctional Facility. The Project's primary goal is to increase public safety by reducing recidivism through changing the behavior of offenders and effecting system change. Each week C.J.P. interviews inmates at the Adult Corrections Facility (“A.C.F.”) who are referred from three primary sources: the Community and Law Enforcement Action Network (C.L.E.A.N.) list of chronic offenders for the City of Minneapolis; the Probation, ACF staff and, self-referrals from inmates. After an inmate is interviewed C.J.P. matches him or her with a mentor and/or refers the inmate to other agencies or resources. Project volunteers make a commitment to attend training and work with offenders for one year prior to their release and re-entry back into the community. Volunteers mentor offenders at the Adult Correction Facility in Plymouth. The mentoring process begins at least one month prior to a matched inmate’s release and continues for another nine (9) months upon the inmate’s return to the community. C.J.P. communicates with mentors on a monthly basis to provide ongoing support and supervision. In addition, if an inmate has a probation or parole officer, C.J.P. tries to connect that officer with the inmate’s mentor.
