Welcome Home Party!

Described by some as the best party of the year, this event is an opportunity to connect with Parole Prep’s vibrant community, celebrate the accomplishments of our staff and volunteers, and welcome home 50 people who were released from prison in the last year. That's a record for Parole Prep! It’s also a chance for us to raise money for the life-changing work we do.

Thursday, November 19th

Upcoming Events

"My Parole Prep advocates came to me with their hearts, and gave me hope.

I knew I was going to make it with them, and I never lost hope that I was coming home.

​

When I was inside I always wished to see my grandkids. After 33 years inside, it was the best thing to see them."
