Along Side Ministries

Aftercare program - through a network of volunteers, asm provides support and assistance to encourage, equip and counsel ex-offenders in their successful reintegration into the community. This includes clothing, food, personal necessities, transportation, job interview training, job search assistance and practical life skills training.

Mentorship program - asm partners with local churches to train and equip mentors to work with the ex-offender both inside and outside the prison to develop a workable transition plan. The mentors come Along Side the ex-offender to provide sound counsel in critical life decisions and to teach and be an example on how to live a christ centered life outside the prison walls. In 2023 there were 36 mentors working with men and women in our program.

Safe housing - a key element in a successful reintegration is a safe, drug-free, supervised environment (discipleship training center apartments) where christian life skills are taught and encouraged. Counseling, substance abuse programs and bible studies are conducted weekly by dedicated volunteers.
