Join us for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop on Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom. Guests are always welcome.
This month, we will focus on practical support and getting ready for reentry: what real support looks like, how to communicate with people inside, and how the September Embraced & Empowered Conference can help train more Ready for Reentry partners.
Right now, men and women inside are doing real reentry preparation: naming their goals, facing hard truths, and building plans for life after release. What the course cannot give them by itself is someone steady on the outside. That is where trained partners, local communities, and Angel Teams matter.
The July workshop will be a practical working conversation about what support can look like before and after release: steady communication, clear boundaries, concrete help, and inviting the right people into this work before September.
Join our mailing list to receive the Zoom invite for our meetings.
