Arise Collective

Arise Collective (formerly Interfaith Prison Ministry for Women) was started by Presbyterian Women in 1980 when a Presbyterian Coordinating Committee of Presbyteries across the state came together to fund the first female chaplain in the North Carolina prison system. Over the next four decades, the organization has provided chaplaincy services and more recently, transition education and reentry support for women, primarily in and around the North Carolina Correctional Institute for Women (NCCIW) and its minimum-security Canary unit, but now, supporting women incarcerated across the State. The organization became a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2004.
