We intentionally strive to continue the work we do, taking part in impacting communities by reducing recidivism, promoting economic growth, strengthening families, and enhancing community safety. When individuals gain employment and become self-sufficient, they contribute to the economy as productive citizens, which is why our passion is viewed as an investment in the future of a paramount change.
By providing job training, educational support, and counseling, we help formerly incarcerated individuals develop the skills they need, reducing the likelihood of reoffending. Our programs also offers support to the children and families of those returning from incarceration, we foster an environment where children can thrive and break the cycle of poverty and environmental persuasion.
We believe that together we can create a society where formerly incarcerated individuals have the opportunity to succeed, leading to a safer and more prosperous environment for all. We choose to help provide critical support that positively impacts the statistics of recidivism targeting the reduction of taxes, instead of tax increase. The reduction of taxes, contributes to a more financially stable communities and help the individuals we serve reintegrate into society and provide for their families.
"What a man does in a moment does not define his life, it defines the moment" - We believe in another chance.
To foster an environment where those who have been previously convicted, can be assimilated into their community while receiving necessary support and charity. Jewel's Comfort Keeper pioneers, in the relentless pursuit, of assisting those we serve to become successful within their community through the value of service, care, respect, responsibility and faith.
