"GET INVOLVED!!" Become a Mentor Every woman, man or youth whose released back into the community, from jail, prison, work release and boot camps, is in need of a trusting friend who will be a positive role model in their lives. These individuals need someone to help them navigate through the difficult paths of life which will lead them away from a life of crime to a positive life as a productive member of society. Many times, those who are released from prison have no one in their lives who can fill this essential role. Without a mentor influence in their lives, many individuals could and would very likely fail in their attempts to change. Would you consider becoming a mentor for a transitioning ex-offender or their families, and those who are serious about changing his or her life for the better? Broken Chains Ministries has many years of experience in training and supporting men and women from the community, especially those from churches, to fill this role in someone's life through the Reentry For a Better Life Adult Mentoring Program. Over 100,000 children in our country have a parent that's incarcerated. Broken Chains Ministries - Children with Promise Youth Mentoring Program is designed to assist these young persons by providing an adult mentor that will encourage and motivate them in school work, family/friend relationships, career opportunities, life issues, etc. Studies have shown individuals that have had a mentor in their lives were 90% likely to succeed in life and not take the pathway to crime. If you can get involved and make an investment in a child or adults life today, your life experiences can make a difference. For information on becoming a mentor through the Children with Promise Youth Mentoring Program or the Reentry For a Better Life Adult Mentoring Program, please call (863) 662-8022. Volunteer Broken Chains Ministries works with some of the most under-served people within our county assisting them in reaching and obtaining goals like acquiring a general-education diploma, a secondary degree, job skills training, and any other assistance needed to become self- sufficient in life. Do you have a few additional hours a week to spare in order to make a substantial difference in the life of an individual male, female or youth within our community? Broken Chains Ministries is in need of volunteers who can and will serve in numerous capacities. Volunteer opportunities are opened within the following positions: assistance with events such as the annual Christmas Angel Tree Program and Gift Giving, annual Race for Time Fund-raising Event, annual 52 State Reentry Awareness and Fund-raising, participants graduation, and the overall day to day operations of the non-profit organization. Those with specific office skills, case management, and recruiting experience are encouraged and welcomed to apply. Committed volunteers allow Broken Chains Ministries to keep operating costs as low as possible as we serve the under-served in our community. When individuals that are released from jail, prison or work release receive help to become what we call the three P’s (productive, positive and promising) members of the community, we all will benefit. To volunteer with Broken Chains Ministries, please contact us at (863) 662-8022. Donation are accepted, we are in need of non-perishable items "Non perishable food items"
