• Mentoring & Advocacy:

    The Center for Women in Transition facilitates one-on-one mentoring partnerships between female non-violent ex-offenders and volunteer mentors for a period of one year. The organization also advocates for women who have committed non-violent crimes, and meet other criteria, to be sentenced to our mentoring program and time in supervised transitional housing rather than prison.

  • Restorative Justice:

    Women in Transition works to influence the perception of key stakeholders in Missouri toward instituing restorative justice practices, such as victim/offender dialogues and victim impact panels, in courts, the Department of Corrections, schools and communities.

  • Transitional Housing:

    Women in Transition operates two apartment-style transitional housing facilities: Courtois House, which houses 12 women, and Schirmer House, which houses 33 women.
