Please join us on Thursday, November 30, from 7:00pm to 8:15pm to hear about Partakers two unique Criminal Justice System-related mentoring programs:
1. Partakers College Behind Bars Mentors - Mentoring individuals working on college degrees while serving prison sentences (includes in-person prison visits)
2. Partakers Empowerment Program (PEP) Reentry Mentors - Mentoring individuals recently released from prison (mainly by Zoom and email)
On November 30, you will have a chance to learn: What is involved in mentoring an incarcerated individual or returning citizen? How do the College Behind Bars and PEP Re-entry mentoring programs differ? What qualities or skills are you looking for in mentors? How much time will I be committing? What kind of training or support is provided?
Former and current College Behind Bars and Re-Entry mentors will be available to share their experiences and answer questions. We will also review details of roles, responsibilities, and expectations of mentors (and mentees), modes of mentor-mentee communication, logistics of in-person prison visits, and more.
PARTAKERS IS CURRENTLY SEEKING VOLUNTEERS TO HELP MENTOR NEW STUDENTS IN THE EMERSON COLLEGE, BOSTON COLLEGE, AND TUFTS UNIVERSITY COLLEGE BEHIND BARS PROGRAMS based in Massachusetts State Prisons. Partakers PEP Re-Entry Program is collecting names for persons interested in Re-Entry mentoring in the Spring 2024 PEP session.
This Info Meeting is for you if you are interested in becoming a College Behind Bars or Re-Entry mentor or if you would like to learn more about these unique mentoring programs (there’s no commitment required to attend the training).
