our partners
OurJourney recognizes that while we may be proficient at some things, there are so many wonderful people pursuing the same mission of helping current and former prisoners through their own areas of expertise. It is our joy to partner with these groups, combine our efforts and work towards a common goal. Please support them as you do us.
If you are part of a team devoted to addressing the needs of those returning to freedom from prison, and would like information about your organization to appear on this page, please contact info@ourjourney2gether.org.
