Monday Evening Community Groups: Support Children with a Parent in Prison

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: New Hope

  • 4 people are interested

Did you know that a child with a parent in prison is significantly more likely than their peers to be incarcerated themselves later on in life (one study found up to 5 times more likely)? Did you know Oklahoma incarcerates women at a higher rate than anywhere else in the country? New Hope Oklahoma works with youth 5-18 who have/have had an incarcerated parent, with the mission to end generational incarceration.

Among other services, we provide community groups that serve as both a support group and a learning opportunity. Help make a difference for joining one of our community groups every Monday evening. Work with staff to create a supportive, caring group. Help lead youth through games and lessons grounded in the evidence-based curricula used by New Hope to teach social, emotional, and leadership principles and build resilience. Most importantly, serve as a caring adult to youth in our community! Volunteers are needed in our elementary, and middle school aged groups!

Mission Statement

Through hope and opportunity for children of prisoners, New Hope creates positive, productive, contributing members of society.

Description

At New Hope, lives are renewed everyday. When a child's parent goes to prison, life as they know it ends. Through our life affirming programs, children are lifted from isolation and fear, into possibility and hope. This is achieved by a circle of adults who care, a safe place with others who understand, a chance to imagine a life of possibilities and new futures born though hope, everyday.
