Upon release, STEP volunteer mentors provide one-on-one ongoing resource information and support in movement towards successful completion of inmate goals of gainful employment. STEP works intimately with each individual that participates in the program and creates a custom roadmap that the individual can follow.

• Working with or referring to other organizations such as Probation Department, housing, drug/alcohol treatment programs, various education, vocational and governmental organizations and resources, etc.
• Working with foundations, businesses, and others to develop scholarship opportunities, where appropriate.
• Work with community businesses to provide paid and unpaid internships so that resumes will reflect recent, pertinent business experience.
• Work with government, particularly cities, to provide job credits to employers who will provide training and job experience to our clients.

All mentors will undergo a training program and will serve as a mentor to one client for a period one year. If you would like to learn more information about volunteering as a mentor, please contact us below.
