"Assisting Ex-Inmates To A Better Life"

The Children's Enrichment Center

The goal of the Children’s Enrichment Program is to prevent the cycle of violence and crime from continuing into the next generation. We believe that it is crucial to address the needs of the criminal offender’s children. The three-prong result of being a part of the program is: (1) the mother acquires parenting skills and is given opportunity to practice them under supervision; (2) she is given time and space to focus on her own program to break out of the cycle while her children are in a safe and loving learning environment; (3) we invest in the child in a way that maximizes his potential to become a productive citizen, minimizing the possibility that he will make choices that lead to crime and violence.

This program is an essential part of meeting the needs of any mother who desires to recover from the damage done by crime and violence.
