Life Builders - Chillicothe Correction Institution
Help Returning Citizens!
Life Builders (LBCCI)
Volunteers are needed to join the team of the Life Builders Program at Chillicothe Correctional Institution (LBCCI). Life Builders is coordinated by the Director of Faith Based Programs and helps prepare male inmates who are near their scheduled release date reenter society.
The program meets twice monthly at Chillicothe Correctional Institution. Volunteers review the “Pathway for Life” curriculum and provide 1-on-1 mentoring in a small group setting. Experienced volunteers provide orientation to new team members and inmate support is a team effort.
The eleventh cycle of LBCCI will begin in September and currently meets on the second and fourth Monday evenings each month. After a Life Builders class graduates, the volunteer mentor (Guide) becomes the official “Mentor of Record” for the returning citizen.
Welcome Home for Life Network (WH4LN)
Guideship (mentoring) of returning citizens is continued upon release by the mentor of record and a team of volunteers through the Welcome Home for Life Network (WH4LN), a non-profit faith-based support network. WHLN supports returning citizens in their reintegration into our community, by providing individualized support and connecting them to existing resources – inspired by God’s Love. More information can be found at www.wh4ln.org.
