Your Path to reintegration

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t have any job experience?
No problem at all! Partners in Hope is designed to provide you with both soft skills training and job training, regardless of your previous work experience. We’ll help you get ready for the workforce.
What if I don’t believe in God?
All are welcome. While Partners in Hope is a faith-based initiative, you do not have to have faith to participate. We respect and value all participants, regardless of the religious or non-religious beliefs.
What kind of support will I receive after the workshop?
At Partners in Hope, our support doesn’t end with the workshop. We have an ongoing support network that includes mentors from diverse fields. They are here to provide guidance and resources for as long as you need.
What are the “Wednesday Night Huddles”?
The Wednesday Night Huddles are weekly gatherings that bring together current participants, program graduates, mentors, parole and police officers, and supporters. They are a great opportunity for you to receive mutual support, share a meal, and learn from guest speakers.
What if I have a history of addiction?
We are here to help you live free of addictions. Our program provides a supportive environment for your journey toward sobriety, and we connect you with resources to assist you in this process.
I’m nervous about interacting with law enforcement. What does “Building Bridges with Law Enforcement” session involve?
This session is designed to foster a safe, respectful dialogue between you and representatives of law enforcement agencies. It’s an opportunity to humanize the badge, understand the challenges officers face, and share your own experiences. The aim is to cultivate trust and mutual understanding.
What can I expect to achieve by participating in Partners in Hope?
Our ultimate goal is to help you achieve maturity in your faith and interpersonal skills, contribute positively to your community, attain sustainable employment, secure, stable housing, break free from addictions, and establish positive family relationships.
Does my parole officer need to approve my participation?
While it’s not required for your parole officer to approve your participation in Partners in Hope, we believe it’s beneficial to have their support. This can help ensure that your participation aligns with any conditions of your parole and can provide an additional layer of accountability and encouragement.
Is Partners in Hope a program?
No, we are not a program as programs have end dates. We will walk with you by your side as long as it takes, because we understand that reintegration takes time. It is going to be difficult. There are going to be days when you don’t know what to do, and those days may be 10 years from now. Whenever those days come, we will be here. We will be here as long as you need us.
