The Center for Women in Transition provides tools, supports and resources to help women who have recently released from jail/prison to make positive choices, achieve meaningful goals and be accountable for past actions.

The organization provides its clients with a wide array of referrals and services that help women achieve stable housing and employment, reunification with family and freedom from addiction. One key to the program’s success is a one-on-one mentoring program in which each client is matched with a volunteer mentor who offers guidance and hope for a brighter future during a one-year partnership.

As a direct result of our services, our clients exhibit a substantially lower rate of recidivism than state averages, resulting in improved self-image for the women, stability for their children and families, and safer communities.

The Center for Women in Transition is also committed to changing our current punitive justice system to a restorative justice approach which focuses on holding offenders accountable while helping them take responsibility and make amends for their actions.
