EXODUS PROJECT offers mentoring and extensive resources for men and women of all faiths coming out of incarceration and returning to the Sacramento & Solano Areas. 

We offer A Pathway to Reentry, Housing Assistance, Mentoring Program, & Workforce Program

Get involved! How You Can Help:

  • Become a Mentor: Mentors are men and women of all faith backgrounds who have completed a comprehensive 17-hour training program. After the initial training, mentors are asked to commit five to eight hours a month for one year. The program matches men and women leaving incarceration with a mentor of the same gender. 

    Mentors offer support to participants in a variety of ways:

    • “Meet you at the gate” to assist participants immediately upon release.

    • One-to-one mentoring during the final months of incarcerations and for six months post-release.

    • Connecting participants with resources and opportunities.

    • Reconnecting participants with their faith communities.

    • Be a force for change in a person’s life!

  • UPCOMING MENTORSHIP TRAINING : SOLANO

  • Employ a Returning Citizen: Many returning citizens are eager to return to the workforce but face barriers to gainful employment because of their criminal record. Hiring a returning citizen will give them hope and a realization that they are welcomed back into their community. With your help and willingness to hire one of our participants, they will be well on their way to a successful new life.

    Employers of ex-felons are eligible to receive up to $9,600 in Federal Tax Credit through the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). Click here for more info: Work Opportunity Tax Credit.
