VOLUNTEERS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our Core Members are individuals who have previously offended. They are committed to reintegrate into the community and not re-offend. They are dedicated to exemplifying honesty, self-awareness, responsibility and commitment.

What we ask of core members:

Commit not to re-offend in any way.
Commit to being honest with his circle. In return, the volunteers commit to being honest with the core member.
Be thoroughly aware of his offence cycle, and be willing to discuss it with the circle.
Commit to take responsibility and be accountable for personal actions.
Live by any special conditions police and courts may have set.

Upon agreement with these conditions, the core member and the volunteers prepare a covenant signed by all parties.

CORE MEMBERS

Our Board of Directors forms the foundation for the work that we do. We wish a special thank you to our current board members:

Our Volunteers come from all walks of life and are willing to help recently released offenders adjust to responsible community living. They are advocates who help, confront, meet, and celebrate Core Members, walking with them through crisis. The Volunteers form an accountability and support system for Core Members, whilst ensuring that community safety not be compromised.
