Imagine yourself in a prison, as you prepare to begin monthly visits with a prisoner.  Imagine yourself again, in a ‘circle’ of volunteers – working intensely with a high-risk sex offender, who has just been released into the community.  

Imagine, finally, being a friend to a mom who is socially isolated, unaware of community resources and possessing little means of accessing them.

M2/W2 trains volunteers to work with people in all of the above situations. One Volunteer Coordinator recently heard from a female prisoner: “I can face doing more time. What I can’t face is getting out again.”  

A recently released prisoner wrote of her volunteer friend: “My saving grace was Grace, who never left my side – so that I could heal and patch my wings.”

Come join us, if the Spirit so nudges. Not for the faint-hearted – but for those with eagles’ wings!
