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.
\nThis 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.
\nRight 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.
\nThe 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.
\nJoin our mailing list to receive the Zoom invite for our meetings.

3. Communicating With Inmates

4. Getting Ready for Reentry: Conference Review and Sign-Ups

5. Shared Needs, Next Steps & Closing
\nTime for emerging needs, next steps, and staying connected as we continue building communities of support.
The 2026 Embraced & Empowered Conference will be held Friday and Saturday, September 18-19, 2026, with participation available in Boulder and online.

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.
\nThis 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.
\nFaith 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.
\nBut 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.
\nJoin our mailing list to receive the Zoom invite for our meetings.
\n1. Introductions & Announcements
\nShare who you are, where you are serving, and any current updates from Angel Teams or returning community members.
2. Regional Angel Team Updates
\nProgress, questions, challenges, and encouraging developments from Angel Teams around the country.
3. Discussion Topic: Getting Ready for Reentry in Our Faith-Based Communities
\nWe 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
\nThis 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
\nTime for emerging needs, next steps, and staying connected as we continue building communities of support.

Writing to someone in prison, visiting, corresponding, or simply offering steady spiritual support can feel straightforward from the outside. But inside, words can carry a different weight. Tone, clarity, consistency, hope, and respect all matter. This will be a practical conversation for anyone who is already serving, anyone preparing to serve, and anyone who wants to understand how communication can support genuine reentry preparation.

Join us on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 6:00 pm (Pacific) for our monthly Embraced:Fully Angel Team Workshop Zoom meeting.\u00a0 Guests are always welcome!
\nIn 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?
\n\nEmbraced:Fully Angel Teams help qualified individuals coming out of prison find housing, transportation, employment, and most importantly a welcoming church community.
\nAgenda for the call:
\nThis 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.\u00a0 Angel Teams help returning community members succeed in not going back to prison or jail.
\n Note: Please be sure to select “Embraced Fully” in the “Fund” drop-down list on the donation page.
