PROVIDING HOPE FOR INCARCERATED WOMEN

Join the cause of mentoring women behind the walls in one of the facilities FOCUS serves throughout East Tennessee. Volunteer facilitators are equipped to lead Christ-centered classes, provide life-skills education, focus on recovery, and teach successful parenting courses.

FOCUS is currently available at state prisons and county jails throughout East Tennessee. The goal is to coordinate well with facility leaders, staff classes with passionate and competent volunteers, host classes that challenge and inspire women to real-life change from the inside out. When successful, students of the program know they have:

  • A strong support system during incarceration and beyond

  • A firm foundation in the basics of biblical living and the knowledge of how to grow in their faith

  • A way of escape from the empty ways of living found in incarceration and addiction cycles

  • A base of knowledge on how to be a better spouse, parent, daughter, and productive member of society


Whether a full-program or a classroom partner facility, FOCUS strives to foster HOPE for women behind the walls. If you would like to become a FOCUS Facilitator and join in this impactful work, please click the button below.
