Meeting Thursday in Salem to focus on helping the incarcerated and their families
Community representatives have banded together to help make a difference in the lives of children of incarcerated adults.
Their goal is to make sure these children have the opportunity and help needed so they don't follow in their parents' footsteps.
This Thursday, they are inviting the public to attend a meeting at St. John's Episcopal Church at 7 p.m. to learn how they can play a role in this important mission. Those attending will learn how they can play a role in mentoring these youth.
In preparation for the public meeting, a wide-ranging group met Nov. 25 in Pennsville to explore the many opportunities they can provide to aid the children of incarcerated adults.
They hope to expand the idea of the Amachi program -- which aims to mentor the children of adults in jail -- into the SAFARI program (Strengthening American Families and Reducing Incarceration).
