    Description

    Men in Jail need your help

    Jail time. Getting a job NOW is slim, because no diploma AND a record. At Metro Jail, hope is rising because inmates can study, PASS and GRADUATE before leaving for the free world. This is happening for people in Mobile who thought they were beyond hope. You can watch someone's life get better before your eyes, as you help build the skills to pass the test. Want to make a difference like never before? Tutor. There are men waiting for you. Training is provided free. A Goodwill Gulf Coast teacher is on staff in the classroom. Classes for men are 8 to 10 am weekdays, Monday through Thursday. (Jail rules require men teach men.)

    URGENT: Mobile Metro Jail requires attendance at their volunteer training, coming up SOON, and a background check. If this is for you, don't wait--contact lgaudet@goodwillgc.org or 251-380-7150 TODAY.
