Review for Foundation of HOPE, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I volunteered for Foundation of Hope Inc for 5 years as a teacher of women in the pre release program.
It was not easy for me as I am an introvert, but once every other week for one hour I taught anger management.
One of my own family members struggled with mental health and addiction and would probably have been incarcerated, but this family member had a lot of supports. Some people do not have those supports.
I was grateful for a chance to give back and help shape the successful return to society of these individuals enrolled in Hope’s classes. And I loved that Hope’s faith based program was welcoming of all faiths.
I hope my lessons were a healing experience for the humans I interacted with. I know it was a healing experience for me.
Thank you Hope!
I will continue to contribute to Hope’s work to support struggling humans in Hope’s various and expanding programs; diversion programs for youth, prerelease classes for incarcerated individuals, and after care programs for those entering back into society.
Thank you again Foundation of Hope Inc. for all you do to reshape our incarceration system into a place where individuals can actually be rehabilitated and ultimately lead successful fulfilling lives.
