Throughout her time as a Pre-Release client, she works closely with the Programs Team and her Change Coach (case manager) to create a Vision Plan, with goals and action steps as well as work through a 10 module Curriculum, which help a woman focus on personal growth: mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually to help prepare her for Re-Entry into the community. Each woman is also served spiritually and encouraged by at least two dedicated volunteers. While a woman is incarcerated, her family qualifies to receive support services such as Christmas gifts as well as referrals for food, furnitureand other servicesfrom partnering agencies. As a woman enters her last year prior to release, the Organization works with her to provide guidance and education on housing, finances, job readiness, identification recovery as well as peer mentoring. The Coach ensures a written Vision Plan for Re-Entry is in place, and provides a church and Bible study. The Organization serves 40-45 Pre- Release women each year.RE-ENTRY:As a woman is released from prison, if she has opted into the Organization's Re-Entry program, she is provided holistic programs and services as she re-enters Charlotte or the surrounding community. In addition to the Re-Entry Vision Plan, with goals and a plan of action, the client is provided case management, professional counseling, Re-Entry coaching, transportation, family support, housing (upon qualification) and peer mentoring as well as referrals to partnering agencies. The objective for each woman is a transformed life marked by spiritual growth, healthy decisions, self-sufficiency, and contribution to her community. If she does not opt into the Organization's Re-Entry program, she is still eligible to receive referrals to partnering agencies.Following approximately 2 years in the Re-Entry Program, the clients become Legacy Clients who continue to be supported by referrals to partnering agencies and invitations to all Changed Choices events.The Organization serves approximately12 Re-Entry clients and 25-35 children/youth each year. 12281 2340 MCSO: The organization serves women incarcerated in the Mecklenburg County Detention Center with classes using evidence based curriculum with topics including self-control, responsible thinking, social values and others.One on One mentoring, through the COOOL program (Changing Our Outlook On Life) is also offered each week. 400053 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 false 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 21 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NC X Gail Clark 7043326388 501 Hawthorne Ln Charlotte NC 28204 Diane Hunt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 92595 0 0 Nancy Conniff Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Cagle Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Collie Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Heusser Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Kozlinski Co-Chair 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Amber McFall Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daren McGrew Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bryan Parker Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Sarullo Co-Chair 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jaida Clarke Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Betty Smith Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Snyder Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Evan Stratton Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brad Wilson Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lola Sanford Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Maillet Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 April Smith Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Polly Taylor Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Monique Smith Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Calloway Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 92595 0 false false false 0 2340 435136 437476 Temporaray Housing 531390 11809 11809 Training Services 611600 2340 2340 14149 12897 12897 0 0 0 89 -89 -89 -89 124539 6977 117562 0 0 Miscellaaneous 292 292 292 582287 14352 12897 X 0 21586 21586 0 0 92595 72670 13436 6489 0 291731 228954 42333 20444 0 0 29842 23388 4362 2092 0 0 0 0 0 0 76650 7696 27357 41597 832 832 3683 403 3071 209 5986 2247 3608 131 0 13098 9915 3123 60 0 0 0 0 0 5700 5700 14182 11584 2598 Repairs and Maintenance 6771 6771 Transportation 5028 4364 306 358 Volunteer Events 3589 3562 27 Dues & Fees 2544 178 1424 942 3813 1035 109 2669 577630 400053 101754 75823 58243 334644 289764 0 19000 58154 1235 1471 0 0 0 0 7725 9326 200006 47480 158226 152526 0 0 0 0 15000 0 549193 556121 27975 29855 27975 29855 X 457010 477923 64208 48343 521218 526266 549193 556121 4657 391 X false true X true false X 524360 511683 632020 603320 437476 2708859 0 0 524360 511683 632020 603320 437476 2708859 0 2708859 2163 1442 927 19065 13199 36796 0 50599 117854 168453 2914108 0.92960 0.97120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50000 50000 150006 47480 102526 152526 582678 391 391 582287 582287 577630 577630 577630 false 25th Anniversary 96056 96056 3526 Journey to Freedom 28483 28483 631 2820 124539 124539 631 6346 6977 117562 false 0 0 Stipends to Pre-Release Clients 16 6812 Cost Food/Clothing to Clients 42 5992 Cost Food, Supplies, Clothing & Curricul Rent & Utilities 5 8782 Cost Temporary Housing provided Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
