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.

You’re Invited: Angel Team Workshop Thursday, June 18 – Getting Ready for Reentry in Our Faith-Based Communities https://embracedfully.org/angel-team-june-2026/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=angel-team-june-2026 Wed, 17 Jun 2026 18:46:20 +0000 https://embracedfully.org/?p=2598 Ready to Come Home graphic novel panel showing a person facing a bright horizon

Join us for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop on Thursday, June 18, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom. Guests are always welcome.

This month, we will discuss getting ready for reentry in our faith-based communities: what is already working, where the challenges are showing up, and what open questions we need to carry together.

Faith communities can become one of the strongest forms of reentry support. A congregation, branch church, study group, or small circle of volunteers can offer something many returning community members need deeply: steady relationship, moral and spiritual encouragement, practical help, and a place where they are not reduced to the worst chapter of their life.

But good intentions are not the same as readiness. Welcoming someone home well often asks more of us than warmth alone. It asks for humility, coordination, healthy boundaries, clarity about what we can and cannot provide, and a willingness to learn from people who have lived through incarceration and reentry firsthand.

Join our mailing list to receive the Zoom invite for our meetings.

Meeting Agenda

1. Introductions & Announcements
Share who you are, where you are serving, and any current updates from Angel Teams or returning community members.

2. Regional Angel Team Updates
Progress, questions, challenges, and encouraging developments from Angel Teams around the country.

3. Discussion Topic: Getting Ready for Reentry in Our Faith-Based Communities
We will look at what helps a church or faith community prepare to welcome and support someone coming home: communication, trust, practical needs, spiritual care, team roles, and coordination with existing reentry resources.

4. Successes, Challenges & Open Questions
This will be a shared conversation. We want to hear what has worked, where people have felt underprepared, and what questions Angel Teams are carrying as this work grows.

5. Shared Needs, Next Steps & Closing
Time for emerging needs, next steps, and staying connected as we continue building communities of support.

Support Embraced:Fully

Everyone deserves a community when they come home.

Embraced:Fully connects people leaving prison with Angel Teams, faith communities, and the practical help that makes reentry stick — a ride, a meal, a seat in the pew, help with IDs and job leads, and people who stay. Your gift, monthly or one-time, keeps that work going.

Tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, The Principle Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. On either form, choose Embraced Fully in the Fund menu.

Where your gift goes

Byron’s Angel Team walked with him through his first months home. That is the model: a few local people, coordinated and trained, who show up for one person for as long as it takes. Your support funds:

  • Angel Teams — recruiting, training, and coordinating the volunteers who meet people coming home.
  • Ready for Reentry — keeping the course on tablets in prisons and following up with learners who ask to be connected.
  • Monthly gatherings — the Interview Series and Angel Team Workshops that equip chaplains, churches, and families.
  • The 2026 Embraced:Fully Conference — September 18–19 in Boulder, bringing partners and returning citizens together. Sponsor the conference →

Join us on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 6:00 pm (Pacific) for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop Zoom meeting.  Guests are always welcome!

In this meeting we explore how we can support returning citizens as they return home from incarceration, as well as how we can support their journey and path to freedom. We discuss topics including: What is an Angel Team? Who can be part of one? How do we start them up, and what role can our churches play in this meaningful work?

Embraced:Fully Angel Teams help qualified individuals coming out of prison find housing, transportation, employment, and most importantly a welcoming church community.

Agenda for the call:

  1. Introductions & Announcements – Introduce yourself, are you currently working with any returning community members (or planning to)?
  2. Regional Angel Team Updates & Returning Community Member check-ins – sharing progress, challenges, and accomplishments.
  3. Visiting and Corresponding Volunteer Chaplain check-ins – updates from the field.
  4. Topic for Discussion: Day 1 of release – now what!?
  5. Confirm next meeting dates, wrap up meeting.

This is a monthly working meeting for Embraced:Fully Angel Teams across the nation, and also people interested in volunteering to either start or join one, or participate remotely.  Angel Teams help returning community members succeed in not going back to prison or jail.
