2 Mission & Impact Statements Mission Reuniting the returning citizen with God, family and community. Background The Tennessee Prison Outreach Ministry traces its beginning to 1963 when two volunteers began serving in the Nashville jail. In 1982, Ron Goodman relocated his prison ministry work from Texas to the Nashville area and formed the Nashville Prison Ministry and the Federal Prison Ministry in 1982 under the oversight of the Harpeth Hills Church of Christ. In 2013, the ministry became known as the Tennessee Prison Outreach Ministry, a public non-profit charity with the goal of reaching the incarcerated, returning citizens and their families throughout Tennessee in all fourteen state prisons and jails in all 95 counties. Impact We operate a re-entry center where we provide job training, job placement and counseling to our returning citizens. We operate an approved transitional house for 16 men, next door to the reentry center. We also conduct an annual summer camp and mentoring program for children of the incarcerated. We have taught approximately 2,000 students in the past year through classes and correspondence courses. We have expanded our volunteer base to over 500, giving their time in the re-entry center, county jails and prisons. We are able to place 87% of returning citizens in a job within 10 days of completion of our orientation course. Needs With 2.3 million incarcerated in the United States, a 500% increase in the past thirty years, only a collaborative effort of dedicated volunteers will be able to address this societal problem. We are needing collaboration with faith-based organizations, employers, churches, businesses and dedicated volunteers as we provide job training, mentoring, faith-based life-skill classes in jails and prisons. We are needing in-kind donations of furniture and appliances for those who graduate from the transitional duplex. We also accept hygiene items and religious materials for the incarcerated. Direct financial support is needed to help us fulfill our mission. Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer Donations received through sending a check, online donations, phone donations and fundraising events. We also accept in-kind donations for the re-entry center, the incarcerated and released offenders. Volunteers conduct job skills training life skills training and mentoring at the re-entry center and conduct life skill classes in Tennessee jails and prisons.
