Right now, more than 1,300 people on our waiting list are preparing for life after prison and asking to be matched with a faith community. Be part of changing a life.
Join us in Boulder, CO for 2 days of inspiration and learning and get started on the path to be matched with an inmate waiting to hear from you!
Three ways to help someone come home.
You don’t need to choose before you register. Come find the role that fits.
Letter Writer
It’s hard to imagine the joy of being valued simply for your words of hope and kindness. Deepen your faith—or simply offer comfort—to someone living where little comfort exists.
In-Person Support
Feel the deep satisfaction of offering compassion and friendship—reminding someone that life after prison has value and helping them find purpose and belonging in community.
Community Reentry Partner
They’re coming home. Will your congregation or organization join local reentry partners in connecting returning neighbors with the resources, relationships, and belonging they need now?
You won’t do this alone. Embraced:Fully provides structured onboarding, expert-led training, careful screening and matching, and ongoing support.
Hear from people who know what coming home takes.
The gift this work gives your heart is beyond words. Find out for yourself through real stories from people who experienced incarceration and, with the right support, built successful lives and organizations.
