St. Patrick Center, Project REACH Mentoring

St. Patrick Center is the largest provider of homeless services in Missouri, with 22 programs serving more than 9.000 persons annually who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. We help individuals and families move from homelessness to independence in a measurable, cost-effective manner. St. Patrick Center provides opportunities for self-sufficiency and dignity to persons who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Individuals achieve permanent, positive changes in their lives through affordable housing, sound mental health, employment and financial stability. Project REACH, within the St. Patrick Center, places more than 150 ex-offenders into full-time jobs each year by offering them employment, limited housing assistance and supportive assistance after their release from prison. The mission of Project REACH Mentoring is to provide stable and caring Mentors to guide, support, and inspire ex-prisoner/Mentees to develop the attitudes and skills that will help them to become successful, productive citizens in their personal and professional lives.
