Choose to Change Launches New Mentoring Program in Temple & Austin
Recently, Choose to Change launched a new mentoring program in Temple, Texas.
The program connects individuals with mentors who can help them navigate their new lives and develop the skills they need to be successful. But the key to success is those in the local community who desire to see change happen.
On June 24th, CEO and Founder Orlando Salinas led an orientation at The Door Christian Church in Austin, Texas, on how to start a mentoring program at a local church.
Volunteers contacted Salinas at the church who wanted to know how they could help men coming out of prison change their lives. To help them get started, Choose to Change offered the framework that has seen success in other communities across Texas.
The program is already making a difference in the lives of those participating. Those looking to leave their pasts behind and start fresh now have the support they need to succeed.
Choose to Change is changing lives and communities across Texas, one individual at a time. With its innovative programs and partnerships, the organization has a lasting impact on those it serves.
Plus, when individuals with criminal backgrounds are given the opportunity to succeed, everyone wins. Families are stronger, communities are safer, and Texas is a better place for all.
