Become a Mentor
Make a positive impact through mentorship
At Community Warehouse, we believe in the power of positive relationships to help formerly incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society. One way we accomplish this is through our Partners In Hope initiative, which provides re-entry services, job training, and employment support for individuals who have been released from prison.
