Sponsors, Inc.


  • Mission

    Sponsors transforms lives and strengthens the community by providing life-changing opportunities for people with criminal histories. Sponsors offers a broad range of services—housing, employment, counseling, and mentoring—that people need to be successful.

    About Us

    Through the process of mentorship, formerly incarcerated men and women will gain support in making positive life choices.

    The Mentorship Program provides consistent and non-judgmental support and guidance for recently incarcerated adults.

    We carefully match community volunteers with mentees who spend time doing activities such as going for coffee, taking a walk, volunteering with animals, going to the movies, working out, going to church, or attending recovery meetings. Each match

    decides wheat they want to do together, and when to meet. The program supports the match with case management, a monthly mentorship support group; and fun planned group activities, as well as free tickets to shows and concerts.
