Inside Circle has been working to shift how incarcerated individuals re-integrate into society. By developing new models and support systems are having powerful impact.
They provide impactful weekly peer support group circles and intensives within the prison system, focused on helping incarcerated men heal their trauma and take responsibility for their choices. Approximately 350 men have benefited from these groups and 60 now live free as peaceful, contributing members of society.
On the outside, they offer formerly incarcerated program participants vital connections through peer mentorship, education, facilitation training, and service opportunities. Their outreach programs enable graduates to act as advocates for the formerly incarcerated and to earn a living wage while bringing their hard-earned skills and wisdom to the public.
With the grant from The Rising Foundation’s they will be able to train more facilitators and expand a critical resource to reach more people and have a greater impact .
