Mentoring & Volunteering
1
Mentoring Team
Spend the day with an ex-offender and earn up to $100 a month. We will find someone with similar interest as you to spend the day with. For example,
you are planning to go fishing for the day and one of our partners loves to fish as well. The two of you will be able to go fishing for the day on us.
Contact us for more information on this program or click the volunteer button to signup now.

Volunteer Team
We always need volunteers in a variety of areas. If you have experience in education or training, we would love to have you join our Team, but education and training are not our only areas of need. We have several events, workshops and seminars each month throughout the city. If you are serious about becoming a volunteer, click on the "MENTOR/VOLUNTEER" button on this page. Someone will be reaching out to you soon. Thanks for your interest in BRET VOLUNTEER TEAM.

Getting Ahead Program
This program is for men and women who are about to be released or who have already returned to the real world. What many of these returning citizens often find are very unstable situations. It's our goal to provide a complete reentry model, including the use of this program, which will make for a stable and supportive community. The program is about building economic stability for all. It's about a better future for our community.
Contact us today for more information or to register for the Getting Ahead Program download and complete the intake forms and email them to
