Volunteering:
To serve as a friend and mentor to male or female inmates as well as at risk youth who are making the transition from at risk to independent and successful young adults. To work as a part of a team in conjunction with the Program Coordinators, prison staff and community agencies to help your mentee re-enter society with as strong of a foundation as possible.
We offer an orientation and training program to acquaint you with the program. Topics covered include the issues of men and women who have spent time within the prison system as well as at risk youth who could be headed in that direction.
Financial Support:
Community Coach of Central Florida has provided a non-cost service to inmates and at risk youth and discipleship outreach to our jails in Lake County. Funding sources come from private contributors, churches, businesses and State and Federal grants.
Community Coach of Central Florida receives no government funding and is a certifiable, 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Each donation is fully IRS tax-deductable and always receipted by mail.
Prayer:
Practical aftercare means helping inmates or young youth to find a local church to be involved with who can take them further than we can. But your prayers will also be the strength that they and our own organization need.
2 Corinthians 5:20 says, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." We are not the Holy Spirit. He is the one who convicts inmates of their sin. We are not their lawyers. They are the appointed advocates in the justice system. We are, however, an ambassador for Christ and are privileged to lead others to Jesus Christ with integrity.
