​Renascence provides a holistic program that helps men who have been released on parole to begin a successful, productive transition back into society. Everyday things that we might take for granted, such as a getting a driver’s license, are often obstacles for these men. 

Key Parts of the Program

These are some of the things we help with:

• Obtaining identification
• Getting good health care
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Building or improving family relationships
• Job readiness and training
• Adult basic education
• Making compensation to victims
• Life and social skills training
• Counseling services
• Mentoring support
• Spiritual support

 
In addition, activities, support groups, and courses in interpersonal and social skills help resident members form life-changing relationships and become responsible, productive individuals of the community. We teach them how to help in the household and in the neighborhood. Some of their courses include money management, parenting skills, counseling, interfaith religious services, and more.
