VT WOMEN'S MENTORING PROGRAM

Mentoring Program for Women Offenders Invites Volunteers:

Mercy Connections and Vermont Works for Women have partnered to create a mentoring program to support women making the transition from Vermont’s correctional facilities to Chittenden County. These women face significant barriers in finding appropriate and affordable housing and employment, key elements of successful reintegration. Mentors can have a profound influence on supporting individual women as they work to rebuild their lives.

If you are a good listener, have an open mind and want to create a relationship with a women returning to your community to help her make a fresh start, we invite you to contact us to find out more about serving as a volunteer Mentor. We also need volunteers for short-term assistance such as helping with transportation.
