Project Homeward Bound is a mentoring program aimed at assisting men and women who have been released from prison to assimilate back to normal life and as functioning citizens in their societies. Most return to the Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Project Homeward Bound is the brainchild of Georgia Foster, Executive Director of Positive Images Enterprises, Inc. and Dr. Anna Price, Project Director. Both have extensive collective experience to bring this unique service to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Project Homeward Bound’s curriculum addresses issues of age, race, ethnicity, culture, language, sexual orientation, disability, literacy and gender. It provides mentors/life coaches to help enhance the client’s ability to seek and retain employment, seek and find appropriate housing, while changing their behavior in order to mainstream into the community successfully. The overall goal is to increase public safety and reduce recidivism.
We are looking for persons interested in becoming mentors to those in need and organizations who want to collaborate on new community-based mentoring approaches.We will offer an individual treatment plan; substance abuse treatment and referrals; life skills management; drug resistance skills; and personal self-management skills.
Project Homeward Bound mentoring includes career development, resume preparation, job retention skills, economic development, health and wellness, skills to find appropriate housing, complete high school or receive GED as required, furthering education either through receiving a college degree or receiving a trade or vocational school certificate, sessions on how to start a business, how to find a job and prepare for the interview, case managers to make home visits on a regular basis to maintain continuity of services.
We can’t do it alone. We need you.
