Join us for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom. Guests are always welcome!

This monthly gathering is a welcoming space to explore how we can support returning citizens—individuals coming home from incarceration—on their path toward stability, healing, and freedom.

Together we’ll discuss:

• What is an Angel Team?

• Who can join or start one?

• How can churches and volunteers make a meaningful impact?

What Angel Teams Do

Embraced:Fully Angel Teams walk alongside returning community members to help them rebuild their lives — offering practical help like housing, transportation, and employment connections, and most importantly, a caring, faith-based community that welcomes them home.

Meeting Agenda

1. Introductions & Announcements
Share who you are and whether you’re currently connected with any returning community members—or would like to be.

2. Regional Angel Team Updates
Progress, challenges, and success stories from Angel Teams across the country.

3. Volunteer Chaplain Check-ins
Updates from visiting and corresponding chaplains working with inmates and returning citizens.

4. Discussion Topic: Giving Thanks and Gratitude
A time to reflect on the blessings, growth, and shared purpose within this work.

5. Next Steps & Closing
Confirm upcoming meeting dates and ways to stay connected.

This is a working meeting for Angel Teams nationwide and anyone interested in starting or joining a team, volunteering remotely, or simply learning more about reentry support. Together, we help returning community members build new lives and avoid re-incarceration through love, structure, and spiritual guidance.
