Mentoring Children of Incarcerated Parents Program

The mission of the Mentoring Children of Incarcerated Parents Program (MCIP) is to create quality, lasting, one-on-one relationships that provide young people with caring role models for future success. The objectives are to provide young people with the following:

• Healthy messages to adolescents on abstinence and hygiene; their behaviors and their interactions;
• Safe and structured places for teens to study, recreate and socialize;
• Techniques to strengthen relationships with adult role models, such as parents, mentors, coaches or community leaders
• Skill development in literacy, cultural competency, work readiness and social skills; and
• Opportunities to serve others and their communities, and build self-esteem.

The expected outcomes are to increased opportunities and avenues for positive use of time, increased opportunities for positive self expression and to increased opportunities for youth participation and civic engagement.
